Thanks all for the input.
I agree, making that multielement antenna without any means for measurements is taking a risk that it will be quite inferior to a pro antenna and thus a waste of time. I found coaxial multielement antennas at procomm.dk. Length is between 70 cm to 535 cm. So I back down to a hopefully more humble project. That would be taking a commercial mobile antenna wip of a 1/4 WL plus !/2 WL (Smarteq.com). It has a phasing coil inbetween. There is a side mount with a coaxial FME connector which could be used for a coaxial antenna with a quarterwave sleeve. The protruding wing (stopper) of the side mount would be taken off. It is then posible to slide a 1/4 WL Cu tube over the antenna mount. By fastening the tube to mount ground, one would obtain the sleeve needed for a coaxial exended antenna. Gain of the whip in a ground palne confguration is 3 dB. Should a sleeve +protruding part of mount be eaxtly a quarter wavelength long at a velocity factor of 1 - or 0.95 ? |
