"In other words, what set of formulas would give you length, conductor spacing, hgamma capacitor value---?" Arnold W.P. King was author of the Antennas section of "Transmission Lines, Antennas, and Wave Guides", McGraw-Hill, 1945. Wing wrote "Transmission Lines". Mimno wrote "Wave Guides". On page 158, King wrote: "---it is possible to modify the antenna itself in such a way that the input impedance at its terminals is equal to the characteristic impedance of the line. The usual arrangement, Hig. 28.3, is to attach conductors at points CD along the antenna (which are not sufficiently close to the near zone) and join these to the input terminals at AB. The accurate calculation of the input impedance at AB of the modified antenna as a function of the resistance CD and the lengths AC and BD has not been accomplished." I wouldn`t hold my breath waiting for accurate formulas, but you are free to try it yourself. The gamma match is similar to the delta match and must cope with some of the same problems. This may be a case for experimentation. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
