| A wide-band
fat dipole is simulated by |
|
12mm
brass tubing, it droops downward |
|
by 45º
in order to provide azimuthal |
|
symmetry in its
gain pattern. |
|
|
A preamplifier in the
small box at the |
|
feed point buffers the
impedance |
|
variation of the dipole to provide wide |
|
band operation over the observed |
|
frequency range. |
