What can we expect from the STOCK MACO 106 C
An analysis of the antenna using EZNEC PRO4 with NEC 4 NEC5 engines.
In order to keep it fair to all others:
- We did not implement matching losses.
(peak gain should be fraction less if measured in the real world.)
The sizes we used are from the onine manual at MACO :
We used the sizes for 27,025 MHz
The MACO 106 C dimensions implemented in EZNEC :
Above the freespace azimuth plot for the MACO 106C using stock dimensions at 27,025 MHz
Above the gain versus front to back and front to rear response.
Above the SWR plot (a matching device is needed to match to 50 Ohms)
The gain, front to back and front to rear versus frequency
