There is a low impedance feedpoint for a full wavelength 11 meter antenna.
Simply feed it 1/4 wavelength from the end and add an RF choke to the feedline. ------------------------------||---------- || 3 X 2.58 meters || 2.58 meter feed point Cecil can tell you the feed system details. /s/ DD, W1MCE Richard Fry wrote: "Richard Clark" A full wave antenna has no advantage over a half wave. It's mismatch is very bad. No BalUn is going to fix that. _____________ The peak, free-space gain of a full-wave linear dipole is about 1.65 dB greater than that of a 1/2-wave dipole. Its center fed impedance is high, but can be transformed at its feedpoint to match conventional transmission lines. Many AM broadcast stations use a 1/2-wave vertical monopole, which when working against a very good radial ground system constitutes a full-wave antenna. They do it to improve their groundwave field compared to a 1/4 wave monopole, and to reduce nighttime interference to their groundwave by their own skywave. But maybe the typical amateur operator would not consider these benefits worth the effort. RF |
