SBGH Wide Beamwidth Investigations (e.g. 60+degrees or multi-lobed), including higher Gain Omnidirectional antennas analyzed using 4nec2. In response to Vorg's situation in Tucson, AZ with THREE widely separated tower groups.
Includes following SBGH versions:
a. WW-X0412 by wildwillie: TWO Sets of Slanted Reflector Rods, 28 each Set. b. WW-X0414 by wildwllie: One Set of 7 Slanted Reflector Rods: 3 irregularly shaped Lobes.
c. WW-X0418 by wildwillie: Elements Swept Forward + 28 Angled Reflector Rods: Nearly 180-deg coverage. d. WW-X0418-Mod8: holl_ands Mod: 8 vice 28 Rods: More Rear Gain. e. WW-X0418-Mod4: holl_ands Mod: 4 vice 28 Rods: Irregular, coming closer to Omni-directional coverage. f. WW-X0418-Mod0: holl_ands Mod: NO Reflector Rods: Nearly Omni-directional coverage with 5-6+ dBi Raw Gain.
This is much more than a typical 2.15 dBi (0 dBd) Gain Omni-directional antenna.....or Rabbit-Ears.
