Linear Loaded 40m Dipole IW7DMH Ham Radio Station
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.

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.

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.
K4VX LinearLoaded Dipole for 7 MHz TA5FA
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.

Adding inductors to your dipole makes it possible to reduce the overall length of the antenna. The loaded dipole opens up the options for many armature radio users faced with space constraints. Below is one example of how to build and mount a 40 meter loaded dipole using basic materials.

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.

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! :-)
Linear Loaded Dipole for 20mt
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.

Small Cheap Linear Loaded 80m Dipole Watch on If you can't fit a full-size 80 meter dipole antenna into your small urban lot, then this modified linear loaded design from Callum (M0MCX) may be what you need. Callum takes us through the design, construction, and testing phase of this shortened dipole.

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.

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.

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."
