![]() What happens if you pipe the output of one radio in to 2 different amplifiers, and then take the output of the two amps and send them to two identical vertical antennas spaced a half wave apart and with equal length feedlines from the amplifiers. Will the output of the two amplifiers add together in directions where the signal is in phase, or will it act like two different signals and interfere with each other? -Curious I would assume the following: If you use a splitter with an equal length of coax to the two amps, you would be able to get 100 watts out from the radio to be 50 watts into each amp. I would suspect that you would have double the power out to the antenna assuming you used the same length of coax from the amps to the antenna. Of course, you have to deal with impedance problems with the splitting of the coax, for example, two 50 ohm cables would result in 25 ohms to the amps. Not good. then the two 50 ohm outputs from the amps would result in 100 ohms to the antenna, not good again.... -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |
