This project assembles a 49:1 ferrite-core (“FT”) type #43 transformer that matches 50 ohm input to 2500 ohm end fed antenna. It is optimized for 3.5/7/10/14 MHz but will work reasonably well on all amateur bands from 80 meters thru 10 meters with a 135 foot length of wire and a short connection to ground.
Figure 2 shows the complete schematic view of a typical EFHW antenna system. Briefly, the 100pf/2kv cap across the primary of the impedance matching transformer is there to allow better tuning in the 10 meter band. The transformer is a step-up with an impedance ratio of 49:1, and wound on a type 43 toroid core.
An 80-10 end-fed half-wave antenna can be a very good performing part of an HF station. But its performance depends heavily on a well-designed and carefully constructed 49:1 unun, which matches the long wire impedance to within tuning range of operation. But the perfor-mance of an end-fed antenna is also very dependent on height above ground.
18 paź 2017 · The length of a half wave antenna is calculated using the following formula: L (ft) = 468 / f (freq in mhz). The end fed half wave antenna presents a large impedance to your rig, so this impedance must be stepped down to a more useful impedance that is closer to 50 ohms.
22 lut 2021 · The following is a list of materials required to make a 49:1 unun impedance transformer for an end-fed half wave antenna. You will also need a half-wavelength length of wire (14 or 12 gauge typically) in order to construct an antenna radiator for whichever ham band you choose.
The "9:1 UNUN" are for random length wire antennas fed at the end. 49:1 or other high ratio transformers are for resonant "cut to frequency" antennas like the traditional zepp/fuchs antenna.
EFHW | Experimental Multiband Antenna with 49:1 UnUn. I made my first multiband experimental version of the Multiband EFHW antenna with 49:1 UnUn transformer. In this first part I want to show you complete process of made this antenna.
