- In an off-line discussion, we were talking about building a folded dipole out of twin lead or ladder line. Some folks may have the idea that if you build an FD out of 450 ohm ladder line, you get a 4

- Martin, Just one point of detail. If you construct a folded dipole of wire which has a low(ish) differential-mode characteristic impedance, and which has a significant difference between its differen

- Steve, Thanks for pointing this out. Adding more elements to a system adds degrees of freedom that can add complexities to the analysis. My claim that the currents in both wires are equal was obvious

- Martin, I agree - it's a good way of explaining how the impedance transformation arises. But it's important to realise that, even when you're not using zip cord, the currents in the two wires are NOT

- Boy, I certainly don't have the 'first principles' for analysis of multi-wire dipoles in hand, but I do recall older versions of the Antenna Book covering that topic. Selection of number of wires and

- Remember that the impedance ratio is dependent upon the sizes of the parallel wires in the folded dipole. If one wire has a different diameter from one or more of the others, the impedance ratio will
