prevent coupling or radiating from the transmission line, make sure
that the feed line is at right angles to the antenna. See figure 82.

expected.
Keep

At angles of 45 to 60 from a
very poor

plane
to
the
doublet, up to 5 db antenna gain
can be lost. Keep feed line as
perpendicular

toward earth as possible.

The disadvantage of the doublet is its narrow operating
range.
See figures 83 and 84.
