Hi Fred, The usual designs include a BalUn that transforms from a higher drive Z to the 50 Ohms of a line. In that sense, the Off Center Dipole introduces accessible resonances at every harmonic instead of at odd harmonics. Depending upon the offset, some come into play, some go out and for a variety of transformations. Some suggest 2:1, others 4:1, and yet others higher. And you would still need to decouple the line (if the BalUn design doesn't already answer that). Given the field imbalance, it may require an aggressive decoupling (a second choke, or a distributed choking). I have a large document available to those whose mail box can stand the load. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
