Re: 75 ohm cable to match 50 ohm to 300 ohm folded dipole

Thanks all for the valuable input. I will check into the modeling programs.

The presenter talks about using a length of 75 ohm cable inline to
match a (theoretically) 300 ohm folded dipole to (presumably) 50
ohms. Has anyone else ever heard of doing that?

It sounds like it might be easier than using the 1/2 wave phasing coax
balun method, especially at 1 to 2 GHz frequencies, where tweaking the
antenna can require a lot of adjustments to the 3" to 6" coax loop.
