Moxon antenna for 144 MHz

NThe Moxon antenna or Moxon Rectangle is a simple and mechanically robust two-element parasitic array antenna. The design is rectangular, with roughly half the rectangle being the driven element and the other half being the reflector. It is electrically equivalent to a two element Yagi antenna with bent elements and without directors.

The Moxon antenna is popular with amateur radio enthusiasts for its simplicity of construction.
