The cable length should be 3.43 + n x 6.85 inches. Since the installer will
need a length of the coax from the antenna to the radio to be at least 22
inches long to physically connect the antenna to the radio, he must calculate
a length of coax that will meet the odd quarter-wavelength requirement and
be greater than 22 inches.
Choose n=3. Coaxial cable length is 3.43 + 3 x 6.85= 23.99 inches.
Example 2: Assume the center frequency is 155 MHz. Applying the
formula: ¼
λ
= 18.10 inches; ½ wavelength = 36.19 inches; n=1.
Coaxial cable length is 18.10 + 1 x 36.19= 54.29 inches.
Typical Motorcycle Mount Antenna Installation
The typical motorcycle mounting of an antenna is only applicable when the
installation provides at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the antenna
and operators/bystanders. This distance recommendation is made using a
50% duty cycle.
1. After the proper length of coax cable has been calculated, cut the coax
cable (provided by Allen Telecom, Inc.) so that when the TNC crimp
style connector is installed the overall length will equal the calculated
length.
2. Route the assembled proper length coax from the antenna, under the
antenna bracket, and into the weather-resistant case.
3. Connect the antenna cable to the RF port on the J
AGUAR
725M radio.
