|
|
i know that every frequency has its own specific radiation pattern when applied to a mono-pole vertical with a constant length,If there is an ATU (automatic antenna tuning unit) before this fixed length mono-pole ,Does this ATU will affect this radiation patterns ,and How can i calculate or visualize this new new patterns if there is a new patterns?
Thanks for answers |

If the tuning mechanism is in the impedance matching network (this means the tuning is accomplished via a variable capacitor or a switch that switches in another matching component), then it will have no effect on the radiation pattern.
The impedance tuner only alters the impedance mismatch loss |

Yes,the tuning mechanism in the impedance mismatch ,
thank you for your answer. |
