Russ Roberts (KH6JRM/AL0HA). ------------------------ The Bruce Array Posted on June 7, 2012 by jabcam It is the current in the antenna wire that creates the radiation. A larger current means higher radiation and so increased signal strength at the receiver. And a larger current can be acheived with final amplifiers. This is however costly. Another way of increasing the signal strength is to let several smaller radiators combine and positively reinforce with each other, thus creating lobes of maximum radiation at the expense of lowering the emission in other directions. A common way of doing this is to put two radiators at a dista...
