wrote: If an OCF is shorter than 1/2 wave for the frequency of operation, it will not perform as well as the 1/2 wave dipole. Hi Buck, Modeling would suggest otherwise. The difference between a 1/4 wave center fed and off-center fed (at 10% from the end) is about a 12% increase in real resistance, and ..25dB gain improvement, both favoring the off-center fed. Are you comparing short antennas to long antennas? If so, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it? Coming in late, did I miss someone's extravagant claim that a OCF could do better? 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
