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.
Linear Loaded Dipole for 20 m Klaus & Lita
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.

The method of "linear-loading" is a fancy way of saying "fold back on itself" - It reduces the overall length of an antenna without resorting to loading-coils. The performance is still good, so ideal if you have a small garden or want to try experimenting with bits of wire.

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! :-)
Shortening a Dipole Antenna by Linear Loading YouTube
Linear loads do not model accurately using the TL facility of NEC. There are two major factors (and a number of minor ones) that contribute to the inaccuracy. First, the currents on the wires of the linear load are rarely, if ever, exactly equal in magnitude and opposite in phase.
K4VX LinearLoaded Dipole for 7 MHz TA5FA
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.

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.

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.

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
40m LinearLoaded Dipole Resource Detail The
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."
Linear Loaded 40m Dipole IW7DMH Ham Radio Station
What follows is the description of an antenna which may allow to obtain good performances even in limited space, the antenna which I'm about to describe is a "linearl loaded dipole" (LLD) which some call the "cobra" antenna due to the "snaking" of its wires
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.

Linear Loaded Dipole for 20mt
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.
