Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
IIRC some early German RF cables and test equipment impedance was nominally 60 Ohms for that reason.? The book "Transmision-Line Theory" by Prof. RWP King analyses this and many other transmission

Re: Philips PM3070 Operator Manual
I have used a PM3050 quite a while ago, there may be a switch on the rear panel for the channel, but mor likely there is something in the soft menu about configuration, or channel select. Do check

Re: Philips PM3070 Operator Manual
So I don't know if any one as this issue, I bought a used PM3070 scope and the 2chs are summed together and I cannot figure out how to clear that to make them independent.? I went threw the menus and

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
Great discussion, very informative. I just want to point out that a good portion of the article describes the counterpoise and ground part of the system. In my opinion, this is the main difference

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
Thanks for the clue, Alan. I dug up the links to the article so I could see the schematic. https://www.pa3fwm.nl/projects/miniwhip/ looks pretty good; I believe that is what the missing link in your

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
Assuming this comment is directed at me, years ago I did the IMD tests for Roelof's Mini-Whip before he had that capability. His original Mini-Whip with the jfet front end and bipolar output measured

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
Thanks to Robin for the detailed comments. I built the Aussie active whip today, testing it on the bench. I used a plastic J310 with no heat sinking. The use of just a 39 ohm resistor plus whatever

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
Many thanks to Robin, G8DQX and Martin, G8JNJ for your insightful comments - I'm glad that others have had a chance to read Martinsen's paper in more detail than I have yet had. I fear that my

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
The design is now dated as more modern devices have become available and our understanding of active antennas has also improved. The choice of coax is not that important from the perspective of loss,

Re: slightly off topic feel free to delete
Jeff and others, the need for a well defined output impedance from the active antenna/aerial is explained on pp22-24. The graph in figure 2.16 shows the variation of gain with frequency when around 2

It is curious that the document is undated. The design and construction photo makes it look like it is from the last millenium. Impedance matching does help as he describes in that paper as far as
