5 Tips for Matching Dipole Feed Impedance with Your Transmission Line

To match ​​dipole feed impedance​​ with your transmission line, ​​1) Use a 1:1 balun​​ for balanced 50Ω conversion (reducing ​​common-mode currents by 20dB​​), ​​2) Trim dipole length (±2% of λ/2)​​ to achieve ​​VSWR <1.5:1​​, ​​3) Elevate antenna ≥λ/4 above ground​​ to minimize impedance shifts, ​​4) Deploy a matching network (LC circuit)​​ for multi-band tuning (1.8-30MHz), […]
