Kvartbølge groundplane antenne
En kvartbølge groundplane, også kaldet GP, er i korte træk en antenne, der består af et lodret element – og flere radialer, som udgør et kunstigt elektrisk ledende jordplan. En sådan antenne har typisk en impedans på omkring 36 ohm ved fødepunktet ved resonans.

VHF ground plane antenna. This is a quarter-wave whip (monopole) antenna (white rod at top) with three grounded quarter-wave conductors projecting down from the base of the whip to form a "ground plane". Ground plane antennas have an omnidirectional radiation pattern, radiating equal signal strength in all azimuthal directions, with the radiated power maximum in a horizontal direction and decreasing with elevation angle to zero on the antenna axis. The ground conductors serve to increase radiated power in the horizontal direction to twice the gain of a dipole, or 5.19 dB. If the ground plane wires extended out horizontally from the base of the monopole the impedance would be half that of the dipole, or 36.5 ohms. However the downward slant of the ground plane wires serves to increase the antenna impedance, so the antenna is a good match for the 50 ohm coaxial cable feedline.
