- I have no instruments to mesure impedance of an antenna.
- From simulation results, it is 54 - j 15 ohms, which gives a SWR =1.5 at 75 ohms
I’m getting pretty damn good range with it, but I’ve never hit 200nm. I’m wondering if some impedance matching would help. I realize this might not be an easy question to answer.
I’m also not sure my range CAN be increased because of how busy the airspace around me is. Im basically located between KEWR, KJFK and KLGA and I wonder if the abundance of strong signals so close to me as well as the crowded RF environment of New York City means my reception is what it is.
Find your maxium possible range using instructions in the very first post of this thread:
What is the Maximum Range I can Get?
Simulation of Cantenna
**Gain = 1.9 dBi
Impedance = 54 - j 15 Ω
SWR (75 ohms) = 1.5
