490 MHz Flat-Swept SBGH OMNI + TOP-HAT
490-MHz Flat-Swept SBGH (Single-Bay Grey-Hoverman), Horizontally-Polarized OMNI-Directional Antenna
with 36-in Radius "Top-Hat" [to improve Look-Down Angle, i.e. Negative Elevation Pattern Gain]
was analyzed using 4nec2.

Min Gain = 7.1 dBi, Max Gain = 9.0 dBi.  Although this H-Pol. Antenna doesn't provide TRUE OMNI
Azimuthal Pattern (equal Gain every direction), it DOES provide a MINIMUM Gain of 7.1 dBi or MORE
on ALL Azimuths.  It is well matched to a Characteristic Impedance of 200-ohms, requiring
the use of a 4:1 Balun (usually Coax type) to match 50-ohm Load with an SWR of less than 1.5:1,
which is well within a typical Transmitter Limit of 2:1.

Although specifically designed for an 8-MHz bandwidth DVB-T Ch23 Micro-Transmitter, the
dimensions can be Rescaled to any desired Center Frequency by Fraction F = New Freq / 490 MHz
[Smaller for Higher Freqs].
