Radial Definition
To define the word “radial”, often associated to another one, “counterpoise”.
Both terms are equivalent but you will find below their accurate definition by ARRL.
Ground plane : A system of conductors placed beneath an elevated antenna to serve as an earth ground. Also see counterpoise.
Counterpoise : A wire or group of wires mounted close to the ground, but insulated from ground, to form a low-impedance, high capacitance path to ground. Used at MF and HF to provide an RF ground for an antenna. Also see ground plane.
This is maybe not clearer… In fact both definitions are correct. But most of the time, we speak of radials when the wires are laid evenly on the ground, and of counterpoise when the antenna is erected a few meter above the ground and surrounded by an artificial ground plane made of thin tubing. Of course it will be never false to say that a ground plane antenna is surrounded with a system of radials.
