Capacitive loading

Capacitive loading

In an antenna, the addition of capacitance in series with the element(s). This raises the resonant frequency for a radiator having a given physical length. It can also serve to increase the physical length required for a radiator having a specified resonant frequency. Compare inductive loading.
