The G5RV antenna is a dipole with a symmetric resonant [1] feeder line, which serves as impedance matcher for a 50 Ω coax cable to the transceiver. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Origin
In a radio antenna, the feed line (feedline), or feeder, is the cable or other transmission line that connects the antenna with the radio transmitter or receiver.In a transmitting antenna, it feeds the radio frequency (RF) current from the transmitter to the antenna, where the energy in the current is radiated as radio waves.
A Goubau line or Sommerfeld–Goubau line, [1] or G-line for short, is a single-wire transmission line used to conduct radio waves at UHF and microwave frequencies. [2] [3] [4] The dielectric coated transmission line was invented by F. Harms [5] in 1907 and George J. E. Goubau [6] in 1950, based on work on surface waves on wires from 1899 by Arnold Sommerfeld.
Twin lead is mainly used as an antenna feedline at shortwave and VHF frequencies, to connect radio receivers and transmitters to their antennas. It can have significantly lower signal loss than miniature flexible coaxial cable , the main alternative type of feedline at these frequencies; for example, type RG-58 coaxial cable loses 6.6 dB per ...
An antenna tuner, a matchbox, transmatch, antenna tuning unit (ATU), antenna coupler, or feedline coupler is a device connected between a radio transmitter or receiver and its antenna to improve power transfer between them by matching the impedance of the radio to the antenna's feedline. Antenna tuners are particularly important for use with ...
A planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) is used for wireless circuitry implemented in microstrip.The microstrip format is the format of choice for modern RF electronics. It can be used to implement required distributed-element RF components such as filters, while at the same time being economical because the same mass production methods are used as for printed circuit boards.
One was released from prison in 2018 after serving most of a 20-year sentence, one is incarcerated at Michigan City's Indiana State Prison for the rest of his life and one died behind bars in 2019.
Antenna tuning in the loose sense, performed by an impedance matching device (somewhat inappropriately named an "antenna tuner", or the older, more appropriate term transmatch) goes beyond merely removing reactance and includes transforming the remaining resistance to match the feedline and radio.
