| SWR measurements on Codan terminated HF broadband antennas. |
|
Those antennas are mainly used by the humanitarian organisations (NGOs and UN) for their HF communications.
The SWR measurement was made with the miniVNA Pro and vna/J software on 'reflection' mode.
The antenna is connected to the miniVNA Pro 'DUT' port with 30 meters of RG-213 coaxial cable. The values may change depends of the antenna configuration and installation. |
SWR on Codan C411 broadband terminated dipole antenna (2 wires) |
SWR on Codan C463 broadband terminated dipole antenna (3 wires) |
 |
Having installed and tested the two models, the C463 (3wires) looks better mechanically and seams to be more efficent. |
