Given: (1) a length of hardling (1/4 wave, 1/2 wave, odd length, open-ended
(2) from a 50-Ohm source, feed just the center conductor of the hardline,
leaving the outer jacket unconnected to the source ground
Questions: (1) What's expected to happen to the r.f. inside the coaxial
section --
(a) it's my understanding that the SWR should be infinite -- will the r.f.
couple to the INSIDE of the jacket, OUTSIDE, or both? Neither?
(b) will this property be exhibited in a resonant 1/4-wave or 1/2-wave
length? In other words, does it matter how (practially) long the hardline is?
Purpose: to create a radiator from hardline by a means other than attaching
to the outer (aluminum) jacket.
Thanks,
Bert, N4CW/1
