  • The Bruene Directional Coupler and Transmission Lines Abstract
    Bruene Coupler and Transmission lines. Version 1.3 October 18, 2009 1 The Bruene Directional Coupler and Transmission Lines Gary Bold, ZL1AN. [email protected] Abstract The Bruene directional coupler indicates \forward" and “reflected” power. Its operation is invariably explained using transmission line concepts, which leads some to wrongly believe that it must always be connected directly to a line. There are also many misconceptions about what happens on a transmission line, and in particular, what happens at the source end. This document addresses these misconceptions. Unfortunately, many derivations require complex exponential notation, phasor representations of voltage and current, and network theorems. There isn't any alternative if rigor is to be maintained. Section 1 gives some background on the Bruene coupler. Section 2 explains its operation when terminated in a resistance. Section 3 works a simple numerical example on a matched transmission line and load. Section 3 repeats this calculation for a mismatched line and load. Section 4 explains the correct interpretation of the powers read by the Bruene meter. Section 5 explains that a mismatched source always generates additional reflections, and shows how the steady-state waves on the line build up by summing these reflections. Section 6 develops the theory of section 6 further, and shows how the ¯nal waves build up in the mismatched line example given in section 4. Five appendices follow: Appendix A develops the general theory of line reflection where both source and load are mismatched, and the line may be lossy. Appendix B works a simple example to illustrate appendix A.

INTERFERENCE FROM RADIO TRANSMITTERS A Guide for Radio Operators This brochure is primarily for amateur and General Radio Service (GRS, commonly known as CB) radio operators. It provides basic information to help you install and maintain your station so you get the best performance and the most enjoyment from it. You will learn how to identify the causes of radio interference in nearby electronic equipment, and how to fix the problem. What type of equipment can be affected by radio interference? Both radio and non-radio devices can be adversely affected by radio signals. Radio devices include AM and FM radios, televisions, cordless telephones and wireless intercoms. Non-radio electronic equipment includes stereo audio systems, wired telephones and regular wired intercoms. All of this equipment can be disturbed by radio signals. What can cause radio interference? Interference usually occurs when radio transmitters and electronic equipment are operated within close range of each other. Interference is caused by: ■ incorrectly installed radio transmitting equipment; ■ an intense radio signal from a nearby transmitter; ■ unwanted signals (called spurious radiation) generated by the transmitting equipment; and ■ not enough shielding or filtering in the electronic equipment to prevent it from picking up unwanted signals. What can you do? 1.

  • A Modern Directional Power/SWR Meter Every Ham Needs an RF Power Meter

  • SWR - the Persistent Myth
    SWR - the persistent myth What you always wanted to know about SWR, but were too scared to ask! John Fielding ZS5JF True or False ? • An antenna must have a SWR of 1:1 to radiate efficiently. • For every watt of reduced reflected power achieved an extra watt of forward power enters the antenna and is radiated. • Reflected power is absorbed by the transmitter and causes damage due to excessive dissipation in the amplifier output stage. • An antenna must only be fed with a feed line that is an exact multiple of half wavelengths. • A quarter wave base fed λ/4 vertical antenna only requires 3 or 4 radials to radiate efficiently. King SWR How did you score ? If you answered False to all the questions you were correct. These are just some of the erroneous statements made over the years in amateur publications. VSWR & SWR - what’s the difference ? VSWR is short for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio SWR is short for Standing Wave Ratio In reality the two are exactly the same. The reason we often see VSWR written is because it is more practical to measure RF waves by detecting voltage rather than RF current. Most measuring instruments measure the voltage and then convert to power. (P = V2 / R) If the measurement were made by measuring the RF currents flowing we could use ISWR as the notation. Knowing the line impedance and the applied voltage we can calculate the value of current since I = V / Z. Measuring Forward & Reflected Power Measurement of RF power flowing in a coaxial transmission line is performed with an item known as a Directional Coupler.

  • “My Swr Was 3.5:1 but My Tuner Brings It Down to 1.25:1.”
    Antennas and Feedlines By Alfred Lorona, w6wqc Probably everybody at one time or another has heard these comments on the HF ham bands. “I can’t operate 75 meters because I don’t have the room for an antenna.” “My swr is 2.5:1 but if I can get it down to 1:1 my antenna will work much better.” “My antenna works best on this frequency because it is resonant here.” “I had to put up four dipoles so that I can operate 75, 40, 20 and 17 meters. Otherwise there was just no way.” “My swr was 3.5:1 but my tuner brings it down to 1.25:1.” On the air comments like these, and similar ones, reveal some of the more common misconceptions regarding antennas and feedlines. Having had some success with a prior note on the subject I thought it expedient to do some minor re-write. I hope this information will continue to help you achieve a more efficient antenna system and significantly increase your operating options. The language is very simple and non-mathematical so that the information will appeal to a greater number of hams. Non of the information is new or original. Hams used the principles described here at least as far back as the 1920’s. Since then countless articles have appeared in the ham literature including the ARRL Handbook, the ARRL Antenna Book and articles in QST, CQ and 73 explaining the correct principles of antenna and feedline operation. Why then should there be such a lack of knowledge as expressed by the on the air quotes? My guess is that it all started immediately after World War 11.

  • SWR Myths and Mysteries
    SWR myths and mysteries. By Andrew Barron ZL3DW – September 2012 This article will explain some of the often misunderstood facts about antenna SWR at HF and uncover some popular misconceptions. The questions are; what really happens in a mismatched antenna system, how much power is radiated and what happens to the rest? Is high SWR always bad? Will high SWR blow up your transmitter and how does an antenna tuner really work? There are many books written about transmission lines and antennas and the mathematics dealing with complex antenna impedance and transmission line behaviour are fairly complex, I will attempt to explain the basics while keeping the article a ‘maths free zone’. If you want to get into the details there is a lot of information on the Internet and also the ARRL and RSGB handbooks. So what happens in the real world? Step 1: RF energy from your transceiver travels down your feeder cable (usually coax cable these days) towards the antenna. On the way some of the energy is lost as heat due to the cable loss of the coax cable. Better coax types have less loss. Coax cable loss is measured in decibels (dB) and is greater at higher frequencies. So a coax cable that is OK for HF 1-30MHz may be poor at VHF or UHF frequencies. Step 2: When the energy reaches the antenna, some of the energy is radiated, a very, very, small amount is absorbed by antenna components and dissipated as heat, and the rest is reflected back down the feeder cable towards the transmitter again.

  • Propagation, Antennas, & Feedline
    Propagation, Antennas, & Feedline Steve Phillips – NS4P Waves Radio signals are transmitted by an Electromagnetic Wave Combination of Electric and Magnetic fields “Polarization” refers to the orientation of the Electric Field Transmission Basics • Transmitter creates electrical current (moving electrons) which is carried by the Transmission Line to the Antenna • Electrical current in the antenna creates Electromagnetic Waves (radio waves) in “free space” • Electromagnetic waves travel away from the antenna in straight lines, until they encounter physical objects • The “wave front” expands as it travels, making the signal weaker (inverse square law) • Higher frequency signals attenuate more quickly than lower frequency signals Antennas • Antennas are made of conductive material (e.g., Aluminum, Steel, Brass, Copper) • The antenna is often considered the most critical part of a radio station – Good antennas improve performance on both transmit & receive • Bigger is better • Higher is better • Polarization of the antenna refers to the long axis of the conductive element(s) as referenced to the earth’s surface – For VHF FM, vertically polarized antennas are common (HTs, Cars) Antenna Gain • Antennas are passive devices • A theoretical “isotropic radiator” transmits equally in all directions (spherical wave front) – This antenna does not exist IRL • Antennas can and are designed to concentrate power in specific directions • The amount of concentration is called “gain” and is measured in Decibels (dB) Dipole Antenna (horizontal) Strongest signal

  • Standing Wave and SWR
    Standing Wave and SWR Standing Wave and SWR SWR or Standing Wave Ratio is one of the most misunderstood terms in amateur radio. Even though every antenna and transmission line book that I have seen, is quick to point that out, it still is the source of many misconceptions. To most hams with an SWR meter, SWR is whatever the meter reads and if the meter says there's no problem, (SWR is low enough) then the antenna is well. That simply isn't true. So, I will once again explain what exactly SWR is and isn't. First of all, SWR is not an antenna property or a characteristic. SWR is a measure of an antenna system. An antenna system consists at least of two parts: the antenna itself and the feedline from the antenna to the transceiver. Additionally, the antenna system may include, transformers, baluns, matching devices such as an Antenna Tuning Unit, (ATU) etc. When a wave traveling along a transmission line (with characteristic impedance Zo) from the transmitter to the antenna (incident wave) encounters an impedance (Za = Ra ±jXa), that is not the same as Zo then some of the wave energy is reflected (reflected wave) back toward the transmitter. Whenever two waves of the same frequency propagate in opposite directions along the same transmission line, as occurs in any system exhibiting reflections, a static interference pattern (standing wave) is formed along the line. In the best circumstances, we would use a 50-Ohm transmission line to connect a 50-Ohm impedance antenna to a transmitter rated at 50-Ohm output impedance.
