An inverted-V antenna is a travelling-wave antenna with high gain.
It is a broadband antenna that requires a lot of
space, but only one mast. The base of the V
is connected to the top of the mast. The end
of one of the arms of the V is connected
to ground via a terminating resistances, while the end of
the other arm is connected to the antenna feeder. The
inverted-V antenna is an excellent antenna for static locations. On
flat ground the inverted-V antenna radiates mainly surface wave, but
can be used to generate space wave if erected on
a hill. The inverted-V antenna can be used as an
HF antenna although a high mast is required.
