You must have missed the announcement I posted not long ago. The article
about transmission line phasing systems ("The Simplest Phased Array Feed System - That Works") is now available at http://eznec.com/Amateur/Articles/. And there's also a new Windows Simpfeed program which takes EZNEC (or other modeling program) reported feedpoint impedances as its input (no mutual Z calculation necessary) and calculates the feedline lengths necessary for proper phasing. Click the Simpfeed link at that same URL to get it. It's considerably more versatile than the older DOS programs. A short manual, including a detailed example (using both the EZNEC demo and the standard EZNEC program type), can be viewed by clicking the Help button in the program window. EZNEC example files CardTL.EZ and 4SqTL.EZ illustrate the results of using this feed method. The new program does all calculations in double precision, so you'll find the values it generates are slightly different than the values in the example files -- they're actually better. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Cecil Moore wrote: Years ago I experimented with two-element beams where both elements were driven. Roy, W7EL, has some BASIC programs on his web page that allows the calculation of phasing harnesses for such antennas. The disadvantage is that one must know the mutual coupling impedance between the two elements. . . . |
