Why 50 ohms?
Hi again,
Well I have read your informative replies on the problems with making
a low Zo twin feed with much interest. Clearly it's not really a
practical proposition. Shame.
So the obvious question is: why are transmitters normalised to 50 ohms
when clearly 450 ohms would enable us to enjoy cheaper, do-it-
yourself, lower loss feeders? Was this some oversight at the time, or
good practice for some obscure reason that I simply cannot think of?
