The Antenna Experimenter's Guide

The Second Edition of this book (now published by the RSGB) takes the guesswork out of adjusting any antenna, home-made or commercial, and makes sure that it's working with maximum efficiency. To this end, it describes how to build and use simple RF measuring equipment to measure major antenna parameters such as impedance, resonance and performance.

There's much more for the keen designer and experimenter, including how to construct fold-over masts, how to construct your own antenna test range, and how to use your computer to model antennas and to analyse experimental test results. The author is an acknowledged expert and former Technical Editor of RadCom (the RSGB's monthly magazine). In this book he has created an invaluable companion for all those who wish to get the best results from antennas.
