Notes:
This loaded dipole antenna calculator was developed to quickly estimate the inductance required for a coil-loaded dipole antenna, using
slider widgets.
Inputs via the slider widgets:
- f : The frequency of operation in MHz. [1.8-57.6 MHz]
- l : Length in percent compared to a half-wave dipole. [10-100 %]
- d : Distance of the coil/inductor from the feedpoint to the end, in percent. [10-80 %]
- AWG : Conductor diameter slider changes wire thickness in AWG. Actual diameter displayed in decimal inches and millimeters. [40-0 AWG]
Top left is the length of a single antenna element. (Not including the coil length.)
Top right is the length of the entire dipole. (Not including the coil length.))
