The math is VERY well known. There's are a couple of excellent technical papers about this in one of the ARRL Antenna Compendiums. Another place to see this is on the Times data sheets for their LMR cables. Look below the graph of loss vs frequency, where there is an equation for loss as a function of frequency. The first term is resistive loss and increases as the square root of frequency, the second is dielectric loss, and increases linearly with frequency. Put the equation in a spreadsheet and plot the curve. The square root term is skin effect. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
