Effectiveness of decoupling radials
Danny Richardson wrote in
: .... My first thoughts are while such a situation can be modeled, in the real world I would doubt you can build a system as you describe where the radials are balance. Just as one can not install a dipole in a typical back yard (garden) that is truly balanced. I agree that practical antennas on suburban blocks are a challenge. But that doesn't eliminate the effects, and I think the key issue that the models raise is the value in effectively decoupling the mast / feed line. Tuned radials are not the only method, and as I suggested in my post, short of measuring the mast current, I cannot see any other obvious method of "tuning" the radials for maximum decoupling. Owen |
