But I am writing now about Figure 1 from that paper, which describes a “Coax Vertical Antenna.” This all by itself is a different kind of 3-meter antenna of a type I haven’t seen discussed.
The significant thing about it is how the RF signal, imposed on the outer shield of the coax, is fed at the top down through the center conductor to ground.
The physical arrangement of this antenna also, I would think, could be described as a form of “transformer.”
What thoughts might you have about the Coax Vertical Antenna?
