Improve your F-Loop 3.0 antenna with the CHAMELEON CHA Two Section Loop Radiator! This two-section radiator has been specially developed to replace the standard LMR-400 coaxial cable and significantly improve the performance of your antenna in the 40 to 10 m bands.
Highlights of the CHAMELEON CHA Two Section Loop radiator:
- Increased signal strength and quality: with this radiator with 1" (~ 2.5 cm) tube diameter and 36" (~ 91 cm) loop diameter, you will experience stronger signal transmission and reception, especially beneficial in difficult reception conditions and to improve your own signal.
- Improved Q-factor: A higher Q-factor means better selectivity, allowing the antenna to more effectively isolate the desired signal from neighboring signals and interference.
- Greater versatility: The extended bandwidth allows the CHA F-LOOP 3.0 to operate more efficiently over a wider frequency spectrum, making it a more versatile tool for amateur radio operators.
- Reduced losses: Lower resistance losses mean that more power is radiated instead of being lost as heat, making the antenna more efficient.
- Two-section design: The two-section loop design allows for easy handling, transportation and storage, so you're ready to go anywhere, anytime.
- High quality materials: Made from robust aluminum and stainless steel mounting hardware, the radiator ensures durability and reliability even under extreme conditions.
- Easy integration: Specially developed for the F-Loop 3.0, the spotlight is quick and easy to install, so you don't lose any valuable operating time.
Comparison between 1-inch diameter radiator and LMR-400 coaxial cable:
- Radiation efficiency:
- 1-inch diameter radiator: Can achieve efficiencies of 90% or more. Expected resistance losses are in the range of 0.1-0.3 Ohm.
- LMR-400 coaxial cable: Efficiency typically 60-70%. Higher resistance losses, often around 1-3 ohms.
- Q-factor:
- 1-inch diameter radiator: High Q-factor, often in the 500-1000 range.
- LMR-400 coaxial cable: Lower Q-factor, typically below 300-500.
- Bandwidth:
- 1-inch diameter radiator: bandwidth typically around 5-10 kHz in the 14 MHz band.
- LMR-400 coaxial cable: Bandwidth is around 2-5 kHz in the 14 MHz band.
