Antenna Whip Ground Plane

This Monopole Antenna Length Calculator helps users determine the optimal length of a monopole antenna based on the desired frequency of operation. Monopole antennas are widely used in radio communications, broadcasting, and wireless applications due to their simplicity and effectiveness.

Usage Guidance:

Key Formula:

The length of a monopole antenna is derived from the wavelength formula, adjusted for the quarter-wavelength design:

Length (meters) = (Speed of Light / Frequency) / 4

Where the speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.

Example Calculation:

Frequency (MHz) Quarter-Wavelength (meters) Quarter-Wavelength (feet)
100 0.75 2.46
450 0.17 0.55
900 0.08 0.27

Applications:

Note: The actual antenna length may need slight adjustments based on environmental factors, such as nearby structures or ground plane conditions.
