I have a phased set of four 2 meter Yagi's that I tuned using the gamma
matches on the antennas the best I could.
Now that the antennas are 90 feet in the air I have a slight SWR problem at
the input of the array and cannot load my 1kW solid state amp to full power
without it locking out.
I'd like to put a matching circuit at the input of the array on the tower
end to avoid feed line losses.
I need to know what fixed values of impedance, capacitance, and inductance
to put into two T match or other circuits to get nearer to a 1:1 SWR.
This is what my antenna analyzer says now:
When using horizontal polarization
144.100 MHz R=17 X=0 SWR 2.9
When using vertical polarization
144.100 MHz R=36 X=25 SWR 2.0
I know one of you is a good electrical engineer and can point me in the
right direction.
