I am trying to figure out the proper balun to use on an Off Center Fed
dipole I am going to construct. I have settled on a 6:1 UnUn design by Jerry Sevick, W2FMI. My question is will this properly prevent feedline radition? Is some feedline radiation always expected / inherit in this type of antenna design? ======================= In the past I have used an off-centre dipole with wire lengths ratio 1:2 (Windom) It had a 1:4 balun meant to transform the impedance from 50 to 200 Ohms. It worked quite well on the harmonic bands 80-40-20-10 m The balun was obviously located at the dipole Tee. Where would you locate a 1:6 unun ? I am eager to learn. I also have Jerry Sevick's book :'Building and Using Baluns and Ununs'. It is a treasure. Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
