Novice need help

Hello guys, thanks for this amazing forum, im in antennas since 1 year but i have some questions!

Antennas like this, are all grounded? I mean if i put the multimeter to check the conductivity, there is conductivity from the main patch to the reflector, or they are isolated?

 

 

I need to  build an antenna feed for 2.6ghz lte to put it on my off-set dish,  and also a 1.8ghz..

 

thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply,

Whysome antennas have driven element isolated from the reflector like the batwing and some other models not?

,,, is not a big difference, with the only specification that in the case of using insulators short circuits can occur in case of electrostatic discharge (lightning)...!!!

Usually if you put  a screw o rivet , etc right on a CURRENT MAX. right in the electrical MIDDLE Point (MAX CURRENT -ZERO VOLT) a node (point of zero RF voltage) at their centre, so they can be attached to a conductive metal support at that point without need of insulation, without disturbing their electrical operation (ANY metal or dielectric added to a design...CHANGES all characteristics and it must be simulated again...

With the added benefit of  LIGHTING PROTECTION if you put the whole thing to GROUND (tower and all)
