HF Antenna Construction

 
 
 

T2FD Antenna

 
 
A new antenna is being constructed for reception of Jovian emission recording and testing.  The antenna is a tilted terminated folded dipole (T2FD) designed for use in the 15M bands.  Center frequency design is 22.5 MHz. 

 
The antenna impedance is around 600 ohms.  Using a 9:1 balun (or un-un) we match the antenna impedance to the receiver.
