    Rhombic Antenna

    Uploaded by

    staketkurva
    The document describes two types of rhombic antennas - un-terminated and terminated. An un-terminated rhombic antenna is bidirectional, while a terminated rhombic antenna is unidirectional with the direction indicated. It also provides design specifications for rhombic antennas at different frequencies, including leg lengths and termination resistor values needed.

    Rhombic termination resistor


    Termination resistor needs to be near 800
    Resistors must be carbon resistance - not inductive.
    Increased parallel resistor stages will increase overall input Wattage.
    All resistors are carbon 5W, creating 10W max dissipation per leg.
