Top-Loaded Short Monopole
Updated
The antenna is composed of four vertical monopoles over ground. Each monopole is fed at its base by a voltage source of the same amplitude and phase as the others. The typical use case is in Amplitude Modulated (AM) transmissions.
The top-load is used to tune the antenna. The total radiation resistance is the sum of the real parts of the four input impedances.
