Aperiodic (Non-resonant) AntennasThese antennas in their usual form are directional and are used for point-to-point service. Aperiodic antennas are defined34 as "those designed to have constant impedance over a wide range of frequencies due to the suppression of reflection within the antenna system. These include terminated wave antennas and terminated rhombic antennas." Because aperiodic antennas operate without wave reflection, they do not have standing (or stationary) waves on them. In a sense aperiodic antennas are similar to terminated transmission lines.
