Ch2-69 Circular Crossed Loops Driven by FULL BAND 2-Port 90-deg Phase Shifter analyzed using 4nec2. (e.g. Low Loss Ch2-69 Quadrature Hybrid...if only such a device existed!!!!!) For the purpose of this analysis, Dimensions for the OMNI UVOX-2 were assumed, per info on their website: http://www.omnitenna.com
FYI: Innovative Products IPP-2247 90-degree Coupler covers 2-1000 MHz, 0.9 dB Insertion Loss but is too big to fit in UVOX-2, and likely costs more than several UVOX-2 Antennas: https://innovativepp.com/product/ipp-2247
Minicircuits PROTOTYPE SXPQ-ED14355-1 covers Ch2-18, which is 200 MHz short of what is needed: http://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/SXPQ-ED14355-1_SPEC.pdf
====================================== In fol. analysis an IDEALIZED, PERFECT 2-Port 90-Degree Phase Shift Network feeds both Loops.
Azimuthal Pattern is TRUE OMNI from Ch2 thru Ch13, including FM Band.
In UHF Band, some Gain Loss is seen in the CLOVER-LEAF NULLs, which becomes deeper on the mid to upper Frequencies.
Loops Driven by FULL BAND 2-Port 90-deg Phase Shifter [need to subtract Insertion Loss]: MAX Gain for Horizontal and Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP): Lo-VHF: -4.6 dBi, -4.0 dBc FM: -3.2 dBi, -4.0 dBc Hi-VHF: 0.2 dBi, -3.7 dBc UHF: -0.2 dBi, -2.9 dBc
