Dish reflector
I made a helical end fed antenna that is inside a cone shaped
reflector The reflector is made from 1/2" mesh steel with an aluminum foil liner and connected to the braid of the feed coax. No baluns are used, just direct connections. I was surprised to hear signals from the rear! I thought that a dish reflector prevented such signals getting to the receiver. So what can be wrong with the reflector or can signals get reflected back from the frontal area? Antenna is at a 40 foot height Any ideas as to what the fault could be? Regards Art I have no experience with dishes thus the question Note, the helical antenna does not protrude beyond the dish envelope. Art |
