Can't argue with your analysis. My only point is that if you are intent on dealing with a TX to duplexer mismatch, a half wave cable replicates what ever mismatch exists. A random length cable can mask the real world condition by making the apparent mismatch better or worse than it really is. Do you have any thoughts on why or how a well designed Z match could produce cable radiation? In a message dated 6/30/2007 1:03:51 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
What I was getting at was that the rule-of-thumb you recommended, i.e. sticking with a half-wave cable, doesn't give you any better or any worse of a chance in getting the "right" match. The rule could just as well be "whatever cable is long enough to get from the transmitter to the duplexer" and it would have just as good of a chance in making the PA happy. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
