Hi,
I have a HF transmitter rated with 200mW output power. An antenna is connected to the transmitter via a 50 ohm coax cable. (The antenna is also matched to 50 ohm.)
Does this mean that from the transmitters point of veiw, a 50 ohm resistor is connected as load?
Can I find the current in the antenna circuit simply by applying ohm´s law?
(I^2 = P/Z). I´m pretty sure I can´t, but I´m not sure why...
If not, what does actually the power rating of the transmitter imply?
regards
t.
