Classic Dipole Question
Hello,
Have just started reading about, and studying antennas.
Simple question regarding the classic dipole for receiving (although I
imagine it's exactly the same for transmitting):
Hope I can explain my question clearly:
I understand that If the dipole is fed with coax, one leg is tied to the
outer coax shield.
Regarding the end at the radio -
Is the coax shield "always" tied directly to the radio's chassis ground,
(which is also earth ground for my set) ?
Or, are the outer and inner coax conductors sometimes fed into an
isolation transformer, and therefore the coax shield would not connect
directly to the radio chassis ?
Thanks,
B.
