[bars] Sat AM Zoom discussion of Off-Center-Fed Dipole (OCFD) and list of possible topics for other discussions or presentations

[Steven Schultz]

Hello BARS,



The Sat AM Zoom meeting today got into a discussion about Off-Center-Fed
Dipoles (OCFDs).  This topic raised my interest in discussing or presenting
topics such as:



Transmission Line Transformers

Balun/Unun Construction

Modeling Dipoles and Off-Center-Fed Dipoles with 4nec2 or EZNEC

Off-Center-Fed Dipole Variations

Feeding Off-Center-Fed Dipoles

LTspice, a graphical SPICE tool from Linear Technology and Analog Devices



Both 4nec2 and LTspice are free.



I do not proclaim to be an expert on these topics, but over time, I have
gained some worthwhile experience with them.



What follows here are my comments about one kind of feed point mechanism
for a particular OCFD.  I then discuss some other feed point mechanisms for
some other configurations of the OCFD.



Read on if you wish.  Feel free to pass along your comments to me about
either this prelude or the discussion in the attached file.



73’s,

Steve Schultz
