I'm searching the formula for
a inverted V diple; the angle is 60°. I was wondering if at such angle the bandwith decreases. ========================== What would you like calculate ? What is your definition of 'bandwidth' ? Are you concerned only with what the SWR meter is supposed to be measuring ? Bandwidth depends as much on transmission line and matching arrangements, if there are any, as on the V itself. Changing the apex angle is just as likely to increase as to decrease bandwidth, depending on what it is before any changes are made. Download from following website in a few seconds program INV_VEE and run immediately. It will estimate most characteristics of a 1/2-wave resonant inverted-V, including input impedance of the dipole and of the input impedance, R+jX, of the transmission line at the transmitter end. BTW, although it may be possible to minimise SWR on the feedline by varying apex angle, overall result may be a loss in efficiency. Relative to a horizontal dipole the V has a lower radiation resistance and a higher ground loss resistance. The effects interact with each other. The program demonstrates. All dimensions and angle can be varied "What-if ? " ---- ======================= Regards from Reg, G4FGQ For Free Radio Design Software go to http://www.g4fgq.com ======================= |
