The GAP (inside distance) between the Two Legs of the Matching
Transformer is normally less than you can achieve using standard plumbing fittings especially on the upper frequencies. So the measurement is often doubled so to speak from 1/20th wavelength to 1/10th wavelength. When increasing pipe diameter, don't forget the K-factor! The 1/4 wave matching transformer will be slightly shorter, the 1/2 wave vertical will be shorter, and the GAP will be very slightly narrower. Since you cut one leg of the transformer in conjunction with the vertical element as one piece, don't forget to shorten this pipe by both reductions in length. TTUL Gary |
