... Chuck: I have been tearing apart this place. About a year ago I had constructed one for 10 meters and had all my notes, etc. Now can't find a thing. This link: http://www.cebik.com/trans/gamma.html will show you details of a gamma match. It is being used on a dipole element. Basically, you just use the top half of the element, the half with the gamma match. Just below the gamma match, you chuck in a 1:1 current balun to choke off the rf which might go to the outside of the coax. A counterpoise of wire, cut to 1/2 wave at the center freq. of the band can be attached to the outside of the coax (or coax connector) at the antenna. The monopole radiator is a simple 1/2 wave and the length can be computed from the standard formula: 5904/(frequency in mhz) = length. The link above contains a basic program to compute the gamma match dimensions. You should be able to tear the formulas out of the text and use them manually. I will see if I can't find the material on dimensions, etc. I had put together here, still looking. Regards, JS |
