Hello group, it seems to be generally accepted that a small vertical antenna has a gain of 3 (4.77dBi / 2.62dBd), due to the radiation pattern in the vertical plane. But in very few cases this gain s
Rik and LF Your email below prompted me to carry out another afternoon of measurements from higher ground for the station FS/ERP survey. The results seem spectacular though I am unsure of what they m
A perfect lossless gound and a lossless (superconducting :-) radiator. Real reductions in gain which appear as increase in antenna resistance come about when the lossy ground terminates the local E f
