So what I'm asking for is an inductor value which would exhibit a large enough phase and/or magnitude shift that would be easily seen in a measurement. How about a coil with 180 degree phase shift as described by Kraus? "A coil can also act as a 180 degree phase shifter as in the collinear array of 4 in-phase 1/2WL elements in Fig. 23-21b. Here the elements present a high impedance to the coil which may be resonated without an external capacitance due to its distributed capacitance. The coil may also be thought of as a coiled-up 1/2WL element." Here's the diagram in 23-21b --------------coil-------------FP---------------coil---------------- 1/2WL 1/2WL 1/2WL 1/2WL The coils are designated as "Phase-reversing". Each coil occupies 1/2WL electrically. Have you never encountered phased arrays like the above or understood that the coils are causing a 180 degree phase shift? That's the way my Diamond 440 MHz mobile antenna works. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
