AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for literature or formulas for calculating a copper clad stub shaped like a right triangle for a helix antenna's output. Participants clarify the term "rectangular triangle," confirming it refers to a right triangle. There is a suggestion that the stub does not necessarily need to be copper-coated, as any conductive material could suffice. The importance of good conductivity is acknowledged, with copper being a preferred choice. Overall, the conversation highlights the well-documented nature of stub matching techniques in antenna design.

Hello. I'm looking for literature or explicit formula about calculation of copper clad stub (impedance adapter) with a shape of rectangular triangle for use at output of an helix antenna.

What's a "rectangular triangle"? :smile:

And the stub match section doesn't need to be copper coated for some reason, does it? It only needs to be conductive, I would think.

Can you post pictures or diagrams of what you are asking about? Stub matching is a pretty well-documented technique, IMO...
 
Sorry for my poor english ... It's a triangle with a 90° angle ! Iguess copper is for having a good conductivity.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
