Less pinching in the midriff... There's a rule. OK here is the rule, when you have an impedance mismatch by some ratio it does not matter which system element is higher or lower so for example if the coax transmission line is 50 ohms and the antenna impedance is 25 or 75 ohms the result is the same amount of reflected power. 25 ohms and 75 ohms are equivalent in this regard. One is not a better situation than the other. Take an extreme case of this where you have either a short or the coax is open with nothing connected on that end. In either case if you were to send RF power to the open or short end of the cable you would have 100% reflected power. The returned phase of the that power would be 90 degrees different though. This is different situation then DC current where the open and short would have very different consequences. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

OK here is the rule, when you have an impedance mismatch ? by some ratio it does not matter which system element is ? higher or lower so for example if the coax transmission ? line is 50 ohms and the antenna impedance is 25 or 75 ohms ? the result is the same amount of reflected power. ? 25 ohms and 75 ohms are equivalent in this regard. ?
