wrote: a balun isn't a gain device. neither is wire, but combine them, and you get a gain device, which is a system called an antenna. Really? How much gain? If I have a dipole fed without a balun, how much gain will I get when I add a balun to it? Does it have to be a gain device to be able to call it an antenna system? You have already been given the definition of a dipole by several people. If you prefer to call it something else, call it what ever you want . It shouldn't take you more than a couple of weeks to change all the text books and technical references to your definition of a dipole. If I have any questions on the correct way to build a dipole, I'll ask Frank or Doc. They understand how to build them. |
