Hi guys,
I tried to model a v shaped dipole yesterday and was surprised by the results.
I'm looking at a dipole with the ends bent back toward each other rather then
an inverted vee. I started with a straight dipole, then bent the ends toward
each other so they enclosed a 135 degree angle, then bent them to enclose a 90
degree angle, and last a 45 degree angle.
The azimuth pattern I got was identical for each configuration. The direction
was different depending on how I rotated the wire to change the angle, but the
pattern was identical.
Does this seem reasonable or was I making an error or does eznec have a problem
modeling this? I was using the free eznec provided with the arrl antenna book.
Thanks for input!
