• Antenna Types

• Gain (dB and Propagation)

• SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) 

• Impedance 

• Radiation Resistance, Ohmic Losses, Reactance, Input Impedance,Feed Point Impedance and Ground Impedance.

• BALUNS and UNUNS

• Measurements

• SWR, Smith Charts, Return Loss, Velocity Factor (VF), etc.

• Phasing

• Antenna Elements and Feed lines.

• Tools Demonstrated – Dummy Loads, Scope, SWR meters, NANO VNA's

**UPDATE**

There has been a high level of interest in the Antenna Theory presentation coming up this Wednesday, March 11. This is great news! We must also recognize the limited space affecting the capacity of our planned class location. We can comfortably accommodate 12-15 or so attendees. 

I would ask that anyone interested in the class, please confirm your attendance via a quick email to myself ADavis@ko4ylt.us  or Jim Schings at sracing@mindspring.com

Lastly, we hope to provide a ZOOM link for the class. If you would be interested in trying to view the class in this way, please provide us an email address where the access link can be sent.
