Wire Dipole Antenna with Adjustable Ladder Feed Line
thingiverse
This is a model of a Half-Wavelength Wire Dipole Antenna with Adjustable Ladder Feed Line that is used to experiment with various wire feedline gaps that provide different feedline input impedances by changing the wire gap in 1/2 inch increments as shown in the table. The wire gauges are from #16 AWG (0.051" / 1.25mm) thru #8 AWG (0.128" / 3.25mm) and may need to be glued in place once the antenna is fully tuned. (Silver plated stranded wire with a protective insulation is best as long as the exposed areas are tinned with solder.) Non-metallic cable ties are used to secure the 3D printed plates together with (3) holes in the top of the plates for non-metallic ropes to hoist and secure the antenna.
