Basics: Correct or Incorrect?

• An antenna operated at its resonant frequency

doesn’t need a coupler.

– No, resonance only means the feed point is resistive and

does not mean a low SWR.

• Resonant antennas radiate better than non-

resonant antennas.

– No, pattern may change from that at resonance and will

need to match.

• Most antennas are resonant at only one frequency.

– No, all antenna have multiple resonances.
