About a stack of
different antenna
Each antenna performance changes anyhow, if I set up 2 antennas in tower ? I examine to set up 2 antennas for 21 MHz and 24 MHz.At that time, the most anxious about that a mutual antennas interfere to each other and is to make a mutual antenna performance be inferior. I try to examine whether that is the bset, when I set up antennas for any direction or not, in order to minimize an interference of a mutual antennas. Generally, the interference of a mutual antenna cause loss of gain on higher frequency's antenna. Not only a gain change of an antenna, I try to examine the comparison that how a beam pattern changes.Calculated antenna model is as follows.
For my case, I select same direction ( without an angle difference ) as better beam patterns. Anyway it dpends on you. Here are calculated results. |
