Hi all I am in need of some advice please - firstly has anyone built a 4 square
using Tom's crossfire method - does it work and was it worth the effort over a
conventional phasing method?
My next question is regarding the circuit on page( ON4UN 4th Edition) 11-48 fig
11-58 in which Tom describes his system. I presume that the impedance's shown
at the elements are the driven impendance's calculated in the usual way - can
this be confirmed? I am not sure if this is correct as although I have not
calculated the driven impedance's because I do not have the source data - it
seems odd that Tom resonates the solitary elements to 25 j0 and obtains the
same impedance when driven - this is only for the 2 centre elements.
- my next questions is how can I calculate the impedance at the end of the 90
degree line from the driven impedance.
In other words how does Tom get from 6.6 +j3 to 313 -j143 - these are the
figures shown for the back element, and are before and after the 90degree line
from the centre of the 4square to the individual elements.
Likewise how do I calculate the Zarray value of 20.6 -j13.4
Thanks in advance - hope its not to mind blowing a question - regards Dave
