What is the approximate length of the driven element of a quad antenna designed for 14.3 MHz?
- A5.35 metres
- B21.40 metres
- C10.49 metres
- D16.36 metres
Correct answer: B — 21.40 metres. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A quad antenna's driven element is a full wavelength loop, meaning its total wire length equals one complete wave at the operating frequency. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
