How to Build a Simple LinearLoaded Dipole for LowNoise Shortwave Radio Listening The SWLing Post
Adding inductors to your dipole makes it possible to reduce the overall length of the antenna. The loaded dipole opens up the options for many armature radio users faced with space constraints. Below is one example of how to build and mount a 40 meter loaded dipole using basic materials.
Linear Loaded 40m Dipole IW7DMH Ham Radio Station
Introduction Feed (A) f/f 0 = 1.0, R = 72 Ω Feed (B) f/f 0 = 0.67-0.70, R = 35 Ω Feed (C) f/f 0 = 0.55-0.60, R = 26 Ω Loading coils can be used to shorten a dipole. Another method is called Linear Loading. With Linear Loading, the dipole elements are effectively folded back on themselves, 2 or 3 times, as shown in the drawing on the right.

It says that linear loading is a "little understood" alternative to inductive loading that can be applied to almost any type of antenna. Furthermore, "…it introduces very little loos, does not degrade directivity patterns, and has low enough Q to allow reasonably good bandwidths."
K4VX LinearLoaded Dipole for 7 MHz TA5FA
Here is my dipole for 40m band. It is a simple linear loaded dipole feeded with 450-Ohm openwire feedline. I designed it for resonance at 7.050 MHz, but using my LDG AT 100-PRO-II tuner I can tune it also on 30m and 80m bands. The latter with poor results. I use to simulate all my antennas with MMANA-GAL.

A linearly loaded dipole, as illustrated below.. is about 30-35% shorter than a "classic half-wave dipole" at the same frequency of resonance!. has a radiation resistance around 35 Ohms. (You will need an impedance matching tuner at the other end of the coax!). just as effective as a "full length" half-wave dipole! :-)

1. Inserting the loading midway on 40 each side of the span, which requires two additional insulators. 2. Inserting the loading at the center, supported by the antenna wires. After modeling with NEC-2, and later with NEC-4, I could see very little dif-ference between these two methods.

Linear Loading using 450 ohm ladder-line to see if a shortened dipole could provide a tune on 10 metres.
Linear Loaded Dipole for 20 m Klaus & Lita
The DX Engineering Linear-Loaded Multi-Band Dipole (Patent Pending) is a 74 ft, lightweight yet rugged design that is usable with a tuner from 3.5 to 30 MHz. It's ideal for portable or tactical use and can be easily installed in attics, small lots or Covenant Condition Restricted locations. Features
Linear loaded short dipole Klaus & Lita
80 meters band linear loaded dipole. An easy way to 'fly' on eighty meters band. Ideal for limited space. How start: When I was amateur radio I looking for a high efficiency antenna which need limited space on eighty meters band. This happen because my neighbourhoods don't leave me to prop a simple wire. Well I find a way to solve my problem.

My linear-loaded short multi-band "Cobra" dipole is described on this page. 3 M RADIATOR MADE OF 3-CONDUCTOR "COBRA" WIRE. Mid-March 2010 I built yet another short vertical for the 80 m band. This time I used a 3 m (10 ft) telescopic fiberglass fishing pole from another project.
40m LinearLoaded Dipole Resource Detail The
Finally I decided for a linear loaded dipole; the layout and resulting dimensions are shown below. First measurements at the resonance frequency showed a low input impedance at the dipole's feed point with values around 10 Ohm.

Small Cheap Linear Loaded 80m Dipole Watch on If you can't fit a full-size 80 meter dipole antenna into your small urban lot, then this modified linear loaded design from Callum (M0MCX) may be what you need. Callum takes us through the design, construction, and testing phase of this shortened dipole.
Linear Loaded Dipole for 20mt
a small dipole antenna installed inside a balcony this linear loaded short dipole antenna has been designed at first for the 21 mhz and then adapted for the 20 meters band . Listed under the Antennas/Stealth category that is about Hidden and stealth antennas.
Linear Loaded 40m Dipole IW7DMH Ham Radio Station
1 I've recently learned about linear loaded dipoles as one way of building a physically shortened antenna. As I understand it, any shortened antenna will have reduced bandwidth and linear-loaded dipoles suffer from this as well.
