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
