Abstract
Due to variation of High frequency as well as distance between transmitting and receiving stations, it is not always feasible to change the height of wide band HF dipole antenna in order to adjust radiation take off angle. The paper provides effective solution for adjusting beam take off angle $\pm 30$ degree electronically without physical height variation of HF antenna. Tilting angle for antenna radiation pattern has been controlled by gradually varying the capacitor value positioned at one end of dipole keeping fixed value of parallel inductor.
