An Improved Multiband Trap Dipole AntennaYou need this traps with lower loss, higher Q, increased power-handling capability and four-band coverage!By Al Buxton, W8 NXThis Improved Multiband trap Dipole introduces a new trap design and a change in trap location. The Antenna features double-coaxial-cable-wound traps having lower reactance and a higher quality factor (Q) than earlier coax-cable traps. Because trap loss resistance is determined by trap reactance divided by Q, these enhancements provide a substantial reduction in such losses. Of as much significance, the new traps have a fourfold increase in power-handling capability over that of other coax cable traps (more on that later).
