Antennas 3+4 on 144/433 MHz

28 June 2024 2:32

The antennas of the ranges are 144 and 433 MHz with a power of one cable.

In the early 2000s, I was fond of modeling antennas for 144 and 433 MHz "Open Sleeve"(The original idea belongs to the authors DK7ZB and Rz9cj). But then "Winchester disk" died from improper connection of the SATA adapter on Molex. The hard drive was able to restore only recently. Many antennas models have also become available, of which I selected the best. One option No. 1, presented below.

1) Antenna 3+4 pipe diameter 6mm (new calculation, June 2024)

DN in the range of 144 MHz in such antennas is the same
DN144

I do not recommend assembling the antenna on a metal crossbar - there is no way to properly take into account the boom correction. It is better to use a dielectric (pipe + plumbing clips), especially since the antenna is light and small in size.

Driven element A is split-dipole powered with a coaxial cable with a wave resistance of 50 Ohm.
