Question B-006-010-008

Which of the following transmission lines will give the best match to the base of a quarter-wave ground-plane antenna?

Correct Answer

50 ohms coaxial cable

Explanation

While the impedance is closer to 35 ohms with horizontal radials, 50 ohms is the standard coax impedance and provides an acceptable match (SWR ≈ 1.4:1), especially if radials are sloped.
