Vertical antenna

A vertical antenna is a type of antenna that is shaped like a straight rod or pole, standing upright. It transmits and receives radio signals by converting electrical signals into electromagnetic waves that travel through the air. Because of its vertical design, it’s effective at sending signals over long distances and works well with various radio frequencies. Vertical antennas are commonly used for radio broadcasting, communication, and amateur radio because they are efficient, relatively easy to install, and take up less space compared to other antenna types. They usually require a good ground or counterpoise to optimize performance.
