Antenna bandwidth (without the use of a "tuner":
A reminder that the BW of an antenna is not always determined by SWR limits. Practical antennas exist where the bandwidth is more reasonably limited by degradation of the antenna's pattern than by degradation of SWR. Antennas also exist where the BW might be specified in terms of limits on efficiency. The 40 foot high TCI dipole (fat, resistively loaded dipole) might have its BW specified by SWR, pattern, or efficiency. Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin - Michigan USA Home: |
