delay line? velocity factor???
I.....verse with it; it would work to fill a
volume around the antenna. But to get the full effect, it should be a pretty large volume, containing the electric field in the neighborhood of the antenna. Not very practical. In coax, the electric field is between the wires; in the dipole, it's also between the wires, but the volume is very much larger. On the other hand, people have been shortening resonant antennas for a long time by increasing the inductance: thus, loading coils and "slinky" antennas. Similarly, people make "slow" coax by making the center conductor a helix, and thus make delay lines. Cheers, Tom ok what is a 'delay line'?? i would think that would just increase the surface area and therfore sorta increase performance |
