Wilson Antennas

Wilson antennas are a type of directional antenna that uses multiple elements arranged to focus radio signals in specific directions, improving transmission and reception. Named after their inventor, they typically consist of collinear or phased elements aligned along a central axis, which enhances gain and directivity while maintaining a compact size. These antennas are often used in communication applications where signal strength and clarity are important, such as amateur radio or data links. By carefully arranging the elements and incorporating matching components, Wilson antennas efficiently radiate or receive signals over longer distances with reduced interference.
