Question 526

Which of the following describes a G5RV antenna?

  1. A wire antenna center-fed through a specific length of open-wire line connected to a balun and coaxial feed lineCorrect answer
  2. A multi-band trap antenna
  3. A phased array antenna consisting of multiple loops
  4. A wide band dipole using shorted coaxial cable for the radiating elements and fed with a 4:1 balun

Explanation

The G5RV is a flat top about 102 feet long, fed at its center through a matching section of open-wire line — about 34 feet of 450-ohm line on the full-size version — which then connects to a balun and coaxial feed line. It contains no traps and no loops; the open-wire section is what makes it usable on several bands.
