Hello Guy Olinger, K2AV and all the other Hams on -antennaware-
I did some experiments with different antennas and had some
interresting discussions with ham friends about 'must an antenna be in
*resonance* or not'. I am using 4NEC2 and MMANA to check the theory
of my antennas to be built. See also my footnote for the results ;-)
Your last message did bring up some new aspects for me. In MMANA, in
'Options' 'Options and Setup' and tab 'Line Match2' you can find a
calculator for an coax stub match (T-arranged coax stubs).
So my question: designing a given dipole for a given frequency, the
dipole legs are not in resonance or quarter wave length - can be
matched with above mentioned coax stubs to 50 Ohms. Is this a practical
solution, or just theoretical approach?
