Could someone check my math for me? It's been awhile since I used some of
these math skills. I need to construct a short segment of 450 ohm open air xmittion line between my antenna and a 9:1 balun mounted on a post. The formula given by the 2003 ARRL handbook on page 19.4 gives the formula for calculating line impedance as, Z=276 Log(2S/d) I had to re-arrange this to solve for S with Z and d as given. Z = 450 desired xmission line imp. d = 1.1mm the size in mm of the 18gauge wire I have. Z/276 = Log(2S/d) than 450/276 = Log2S - Log1.1 than 1.630 = log(2S) - .0414 than 1.630 = log 2 + log S - .0414 than 1.630 = .301 + log S - .0414 than 1.630 = .26 + log S than 1.37 = log S 23.44 = S 23.44mm center to center Does it check out?! Thank You In Advance! |
