This question
arises always:
Why can this antenna be so efficient ?
Here the main reasons, why the efficiency of this antenna is
extremely high:
- The radiation is produced by planes and not by wires.
- Use of differential, floating feeding system (with Varylink).
- Antenna offers 50 Ohm real input impedance on each operating
frequency, hereby
eliminating a lossy tuner (through Varylink and remote frequency
adjustment RFA).
- Minimizing of ground currents by partial elimination of the radiation
fields towards
the ground, resulting in the flow of the radiation towards the
ionosphere.
- Minimal losses within
the antenna: Radiation resistance in the order of
10 times the total loss resistance.
- No
radiation from the feeding coax.
This does not mean, that this antenna is better than some big
antennas, but there is no other small antenna known, which
can produce regularly such good results in comparisons.
