High-Performance, Compact Antenna Design

The cobweb antenna, originally designed by Steve Webb G3TPW, is a compact, high-performance multiband antenna that has gained significant popularity among amateur radio enthusiasts. Due to its unique design and ease of construction, the cobweb antenna is an ideal choice for those with limited space or those seeking a portable antenna solution. The cobweb antenna is constructed using a series of concentric rings of wire, forming a web-like structure. This design allows for a full-size half-wave dipole on each of the five amateur bands (14, 18, 21, 24, and 28 MHz), providing maximum performance and efficiency. The antenna's compact size and light weight make it easy to install and transport, making it an excellent option for portable operations or for those with limited space. Additionally, the cobweb antenna is relatively inexpensive to build, using materials that are readily available. Due to its versatility and effectiveness, the cobweb antenna has become a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including field day events, portable operations, and permanent installations. Its unique design and proven performance continue to attract enthusiasts who seek a high-quality, compact multiband antenna.
