A PROPOSAL FOR A THREE ELEMENT BEAM

Here are the dimensions. Each wire was modeled using 10 segments.

Here is the 2 dimensional plot:

Note that all the minor lobes are better than 20 dB down. The wire diameter is 0.0053 feet. I was hoping to obtain a better match but could not. A matching network will be required. The software used is NEC4WIN from Orion. Sadly this software is no longer available. I suggest 4nec2 which is available as a free download. I have not tried to model my antennas with this software.

Next is a 3D plot:

When you use the software, you can move this plot in any desired direction. This information was prepared on Nov. 30, 2001
