Antenna Research Assistance

[mmcnally]

I’m hoping someone will help me with some research I’m working on for my internship.  I’m looking for information on a few antenna types—what they’re used for, where you buy them, that kind of thing. If you’re willing to help, do you mind taking this super quick survey ?  It doesn’t ask for any personal info., and you won’t be added to any mailing lists, I swear.
