Locating Transponder Antenna on top of the fuselage instead ofunder it.
O
And since you asked about different style 1/4 wave dipoles. The rods, blades etc. should all behave the same from a RF viewpoint. They are effectively the same internally. Rods/single attach point style antennas may be easier to attach/mount on curved surfaces, but have higher drag than a blade if that small drag worries you. I've also seen A&Ps recommend the rod style so that if you do manage to crunch it will bend and hopefully do less damage to the fuselage/finish. Transponder rod antennas spec drag at .41 lbs at 250 MPH and blade antennas at .09 lbs at 250 MPH. That seems to be a big difference but anyone have a comment to what this measures in the gliding world?
