@py6cj: “A phased array does not create extra power, it redistributes the same radiated power more intelligently. Here, an 8 element phased surface steers its beam toward the receiver, producing about 8 dB higher received level than a single monopole using the same total radiated power. The controlled phase progression forms a narrow main beam around +21.8°, increasing directivity while reducing radiation in unwanted directions. That is the real advantage of phased arrays, more useful power where you need it, without mechanically moving the antenna.” Video and text of: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Db77tgEy9f3/?igsh=MTBud3JmMmd5d2ttZQ==&igsi=MTBud3JmMmd5d2ttZQ== #hamradio #amateurradio #hamradiocommuity #py6cj #hamradioantenna
