short antenna

[′shȯrt an‚ten·ə]

(electromagnetism)

An antenna shorter than about one-tenth of a wavelength, so that the current may be assumed to have constant magnitude along its length, and the antenna may be treated as an elementary dipole.

Fortunately, modern HF equipment such as the AN/PRC-150 are equipped with a very effective antenna matching unit that is quite capable of providing acceptable antenna electrical impedance matching even to very short antennas. Unfortunately, while the coupling process electrically compensates for a physically short antenna it also reduces effective radiated power of the radio as shown.
