1 element Quad (f0 =~170MHz, Zo ~= 125 ohm, +3dB)






X-Q Antenna (f0 =~170MHz, Zo ~= 2500 ohm, +5.5dB)

The X-Q antenna is a 2 wavelength quad loop open in the top. Total length of the wire: 332 cm.

Impedance of the antenna around 2000-2500 ohms. To match the antenna a 1:40 transformaer is made up a ferrite core with 4 turns primary and 25 secundary (Turn ratio: 1:6.25 => impedance ratio ~ 1:39) The ferrit core is glued to an connector strip to ease the wire installation. For vertical polarization, feed the antenna in the side.





1:40 transformer






Jacket Antenna (f0 =~170MHz, Zo ~= 35 ohm, +3dB)

3/4 wavelength portable antenna. Antenna wire is made of a RG58 cable with the jacket and braid stripped leaving center conductor intact.

Total Length of wire: 122 cm.
