#3. When modeling an antenna with traps how do you know what values to plug in as loads for the traps? This what I have done with linear loading, as well. Simulating it with a lumped inductance and the right length elements gives me what I choose to believe is a sufficiently high-fidelity model for interaction and similar large-scale phenomena. Some modern antennas -- the F-12 C'3s come to mind -- probably won't give you believable feedpoint impedances anyway -- but the patterns seem to be pretty credible. Some very effective tri-bander stacks have been designed using single-band monotaper models of antennas like TH-7s, bypassing the whole tra\sp exercise altogether Modeling antennas with LC traps could be a real pain in cut and try mode, given all the possible combinations that will resonate at a particular frequency. In that connection, AC6LA's MultiNEC is a really neat tool, because it will let you automatically alter multiple parameters in a design singly or all at once, producing hundreds of runs from which you can select. 73, Pete N4ZR _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
