Linear Loaded 40m Dipole IW7DMH Ham Radio Station

A linearly loaded dipole, as illustrated below.. is about 30-35% shorter than a "classic half-wave dipole" at the same frequency of resonance!. has a radiation resistance around 35 Ohms. (You will need an impedance matching tuner at the other end of the coax!). just as effective as a "full length" half-wave dipole! :-)

1. Inserting the loading midway on 40 each side of the span, which requires two additional insulators. 2. Inserting the loading at the center, supported by the antenna wires. After modeling with NEC-2, and later with NEC-4, I could see very little dif-ference between these two methods.

My linear-loaded short multi-band "Cobra" dipole is described on this page. 3 M RADIATOR MADE OF 3-CONDUCTOR "COBRA" WIRE. Mid-March 2010 I built yet another short vertical for the 80 m band. This time I used a 3 m (10 ft) telescopic fiberglass fishing pole from another project.

Introduction Feed (A) f/f 0 = 1.0, R = 72 Ω Feed (B) f/f 0 = 0.67-0.70, R = 35 Ω Feed (C) f/f 0 = 0.55-0.60, R = 26 Ω Loading coils can be used to shorten a dipole. Another method is called Linear Loading. With Linear Loading, the dipole elements are effectively folded back on themselves, 2 or 3 times, as shown in the drawing on the right.

40m LinearLoaded Dipole Resource Detail The

Adding inductors to your dipole makes it possible to reduce the overall length of the antenna. The loaded dipole opens up the options for many armature radio users faced with space constraints. Below is one example of how to build and mount a 40 meter loaded dipole using basic materials.

Small Cheap Linear Loaded 80m Dipole Watch on If you can't fit a full-size 80 meter dipole antenna into your small urban lot, then this modified linear loaded design from Callum (M0MCX) may be what you need. Callum takes us through the design, construction, and testing phase of this shortened dipole.

Linear loads do not model accurately using the TL facility of NEC. There are two major factors (and a number of minor ones) that contribute to the inaccuracy. First, the currents on the wires of the linear load are rarely, if ever, exactly equal in magnitude and opposite in phase.


Linear Loaded Dipole for 20 m Klaus & Lita

The DX Engineering Linear-Loaded Multi-Band Dipole (Patent Pending) is a 74 ft, lightweight yet rugged design that is usable with a tuner from 3.5 to 30 MHz. It's ideal for portable or tactical use and can be easily installed in attics, small lots or Covenant Condition Restricted locations. Features

1 I've recently learned about linear loaded dipoles as one way of building a physically shortened antenna. As I understand it, any shortened antenna will have reduced bandwidth and linear-loaded dipoles suffer from this as well.


Linear Loaded 40m Dipole IW7DMH Ham Radio Station

The method of "linear-loading" is a fancy way of saying "fold back on itself" - It reduces the overall length of an antenna without resorting to loading-coils. The performance is still good, so ideal if you have a small garden or want to try experimenting with bits of wire.


Linear loaded short dipole Klaus & Lita

Design of a Two-band Loaded Dipole Antenna Calculate the LC trap values given the physical size of the antenna and two desired resonant frequencies. wanted to put up a dipole antenna in my attic but didn't have space for a full sized 40 meter antenna.


Linear Loaded Dipole for 20 m Klaus & Lita

The 40 meter half-wave dipole antenna, intended for NVIS duty, described in the schematic diagram above, is made portable for field work by using linear-loading technique which will yield an antenna span about 33% shorter than normal!


Shortening a Dipole Antenna by Linear Loading YouTube

80 meters band linear loaded dipole. An easy way to 'fly' on eighty meters band. Ideal for limited space. How start: When I was amateur radio I looking for a high efficiency antenna which need limited space on eighty meters band. This happen because my neighbourhoods don't leave me to prop a simple wire. Well I find a way to solve my problem.

Finally I decided for a linear loaded dipole; the layout and resulting dimensions are shown below. First measurements at the resonance frequency showed a low input impedance at the dipole's feed point with values around 10 Ohm.
