ohms.
When
the
antenna
resistance
is less
than
70
ohms,
the
reactance
of L107
should
be equal
to the
capacitive
reactance
of
the
antenna
plus
35
ohms.

Determine
the
inductance
of L IO 7 using
the
formula:

From
Figure

determine
the
number
of
turns

4.
From
Figure
4 or
5, determine
the
required
inductance
of
L106,
using
the
known
frequency
and
antenna
resistance.
5.
Using
Figure
6, determine
the
turns
on L106
to
be
shorted,
to
obtain
the
inductance
required
in Step
4.

Determine
the
required
shunt
capacitance
from
the
known
frequency
and
antenna
resistance,
using
Figure

Using
the
capacitance
from
the previous
step,
and
referring
to Table
5, determine
the
manner
of
connecting
Cl 20,
C 12 1, and
C 122
for
the
closest
approximation
to the required
value.

As
an
example
of
the
preceding
calculations,
assume
that
the
power
output
from
the
transmitter
is 250
watts
and
that
the
transmitter
is operating
into
an antenna
whose
impedance
is 20 -j30
ohms.
Assume
the frequency
to be
1250

I.
The
antenna
resistance
is less than
70 ohms,
therefore,
the
reactance
of L107
is 30

From
Figure
6, 26 turns

From
Figure
5,
the
inductance
of
LlO6
should
be 3.8
microhenries.
5.
From
Figure
6, 3 1 turns
must
be shorted.
6.
From
Figure
7, the required
shunt
capacitance
is 6200
mmf.
Note
that
since
the
antenna
resist-
ance,
20
ohms,
is
less
than
70
ohms,
the
curve
marked
"ANT
RES.
=
LESS

on Figure
7 is to be used.
7.
From
Table
5, 5900
mmf
is found
to be the
nearest
approximation
to
the
required
6200
mmf.
Therefore,
Cl 20 and
Cl 2 1 should
be connected
in
parallel.
