Calculate the length of a 5/8 Wave Vertical Antenna

Numerator divided by Enter the frequency of operation in MHz.

This dimension expressed in feet is: .
This dimension expressed in inches is: .
This dimension expressed in meters is: .


A 5/8 wave antenna is designed as a vertical radiator which displays half again as much gain over its quarter wave cousin, cut for the same frequency. The feed point of a 5/8 wave antenna requires that a tuned circuit be constructed at its base to form a decoupling (matching) device between the transmission line and the antenna.
