Factors significantly affecting antenna performance include gain requirements, electrical type, ground plane availability, mounting style and placement, coaxial type and loss ratings, physical size, appearance, and the surrounding environment. Larsen’s Amateur Antenna Products Catalog is designed as an antenna selection guide for antenna dealers and distributors to use in helping their customers.
