Slow wave antenna design for top band
"Cecil Moore"
We know that helical antennas exist and radiate. The form factor of a self-resonant 75m bugcatcher coil is helical and will radiate (even though very inefficiently) and contacts are more than likely possible. What is your definition of "antenna"? ___________ The sole purpose of a helical (or any other) antenna is to radiate and/or receive EM waves with pattern, polarization and other characteristics suitable for the application. A bugcatcher coil is not designed to be an antenna, and radiates only incidentally. RF |
