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.

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
