Folded groundplane antenna

[n1nte]

Does anyone know of any design plans on the construction of a folded GROUNDPLANE antenna (as opposed to a folded dipole)?<p>Looking for specs on VHF and UHF antennas - spacing between element and folded element, reduction of element length due to capacitive effects, etc.<p>Thanks!

I can point you to a particular article, nevertheless im sure you will find something you like in the ARRL antenna book or some ARRL VHF antenna compendium...I did a quick search on the word FOLDED on the ARRL site and came up with the hits below. There are 2 more pages like the one I pasted....You have to be a memeber to get access to this search function...I feel guilty just pasting these results...so, I can't past the other 2 pages....If you're not a member, you can join on line..... <p>Sep 1980 QST 26 Portable Quad For 2 Meters, A
