figures
Had an opportunity to build 6 of
the Amrad CP666 e probes (for a military customer) a while back
and measured the following. First column is measurments from the QST
article, second column is measurment average of the 6 antennas built
(all measured within a dB or so of each other), third column Amrad
circuit with single J310 at 12 volts and fourth column single J310 at 24
volts.
Measured significantly higher IP2
than the original article leading me to believe there might have been a
measurement error in the original article...or I got a batch of CP666s that
were unusally good performers. The fact that the J310 at 12
volts achieved +50 dBM makes me lean toward possible measurement
error in the original article.
Hope these columns stay lined up
when passing through the reflector!
