Default What happens to a cage (fat) dipole with trap and extension
I have been looking at the properties of a cage or fat dipole. This is
efficient and has a wide bandwidth. But what happens if a trap is added to
then with an extension to cover an additional lower band. Will the high Q
trap significantly reduce the efectiveness of the cage dipole in efficiency
and bandwidth? I was thinking in terms of a cage dipole-trap-cage
extension. Any thoughts?
