I'd like to come up with a model for the RF choke system
I'm using on one of my wire antennas.
Coax comes vertically to ground...six type 71 clamp-ons, .75 inch
long are placed over it. Then, coax shield is grounded with an 8'
rod. Then, six more type 71 clamp-ons go over the coax heading to
the shack.
This T network is repeated 50' later, where the coax enters the
shack.
The question is this:
Can one assume that each clamp on represents a single turn choke,
with whatever reactance is rated for the ferrite, at the operating
frequency?
One analyst has suggested that it's the lossiness of the ferrite, not
the inductance per-se, which is important.
I'm off to look for the mfr's specs on this stuff....but would appreciate
the thoughts of anyone inclined to model this.
