Dipole Antenna Ends Arc Ceramic

Or a ladder line balanced feedline may be connected directly to the dipole wire ends.

Dipole antenna ends arc ceramic.

Shown in figure 7 1 a is a dipole antenna excited from an rf source. The balanced nature of the ideal circuit ensures that identical current will exist on each side of the dipole. At resonance the antenna appears to be a 73 ω resistor. If a balanced feedline is used with an antenna tuner in non resonant applications the sep arc plug must be removed to prevent the false triggering of the gas tube.
