Abstract
Radio Engineering Department, General Electric Company, Schenectady, New York Summary-In this paper, the characteristics of broadcast antennas of various standard forms are discussed and experimental data presented on actutal installations at the South Schenectady Developmental Station. The effect on signal strength, as measured locally, of varying the antenna height is considered; and also the effect of high steel towers on antennas operated at 880 meters wavelength. Antenna ground system losses, local radiation losses, antenna directional effects and field distortion are also discussed to a limited extent.
