Well Charles, if something was done and it was done wrong, then it would matter, as the results would be invalid. The effect of the SMA to BNC adapter is not accounted for, and depending on how the V

Jim, the web page claims a gain of 9 dB for this coaxial colinear antenna. We have no idea if it is dBi or dBd. I suspect he means dBd, since I suspect his logic is 1) Gain of a half-wave dipole is 0
Dave. not everyone has access to this $100,000 software. As a result, we do what we can with what we have to work with. So, the published gain is off 3 dB; it is still a good way for a ham to improve
Agreed. Agreed. BUT doing "what you can" should not extend to publishing a gain figure that is inaccurate, with no justification for how it is arrived at. Would you think it reasonable to publish a d
To measure radiated power to 95% certainty, ETSI standards allow a +/-6dB tolerance, although most Test Houses can get to within 3dB. I built a reference dipole and bazooka balun for 400 MHz for test
Agreed. BUT doing "what you can" should not extend to publishing a gain figure that is inaccurate, with no justification for how it is arrived at. I "suspect" that the gain reference was a typical 1/
It seems to me that quite a number of antenna gain figures are really in dBwn. That is, gain over a "wet noodle"! Glen, K9STH Website: http://k9sth.com Agreed. Agreed. BUT doing "what you can" sho
