[TowerTalk] PAN CAKE ANTENNA -TAK-ANTENNA

[David Jordan]

Hi Folks,

 

Looking for comments regarding questions about the Pan Cake dipole antenna:

 

What is the theory behind the antenna configuration?

 

Has anyone attempted to model the antenna?

 

What is the expected input impedance at resonance?

 

Is there a difference between actual and advertised SWR 2:1 bandwidth?

 

Has anyone confirmed SWR bandwidth claimed versus actual?

 

Is there a defined radiation pattern or is it just a BLOB pattern?

 

73,

Dave
