coax traps

Wire antenna with coaxial cable traps - This multiband antenna 10-80 meters is a home made project by I1BAY. Has been used for SOTA activations with great results. Traps are done with coax cable turns, dimensions are in the attached schema.

An Improved Multiband Trap Dipole Antenna - This improved multiband trap dipole introduces a new trap design and a change in trap location. The antenna features double-coaxial-cable-wound traps having lower reactance and a higher quality factor (Q) than earlier coax-cable traps by W8NX

Tuning HF antenna Traps - Tuning HF Coaxial Antenna Traps

Trap antennas, coaxial trap, coax dipole antenna loss resistance - Testing and comparison of traps and trap antennas

Coaxial Traps for multiband antennas - A new perspective on the analysis and design of this popular antenna element. By Karl-Otto Müller, DG1MFT

Building Coaxial Traps - This page describes the design and construction materials W8WWV used to build a coaxial cable trap. A coaxial cable trap is a parallel resonant circuit that is usually inserted in an antenna element to enable multiband operation.

VE6YP CoaxTrap - The Coax trap program computes design parameters for the construction of coaxial traps for HF usage. Typically these are constructed from PVC tube and RG58/59 coax

Coax Traps from a Modeling Perspective - About Coax Traps, NC4FB examine the operation of coax traps through modeling.

Traps for 40/80 m dipole  ^updated - I6DVX article on hoembrewing traps, using vetrnonite instead of common coax cable.

Building traps with coax cable - Tips on how to build a trap using common coaxial cable and coax trap software, by F5JTZ in french

Tuning HF Coaxial Antenna Traps - The problem with making your own trapped HF antennas is usually getting the coaxial traps tuned to frequency.

Bootstrap coax traps for antennas - Analysis of an antenna trap where a coil is formed of a length of coax cable, the outer conductor of one coax end is tied to the inner conductor of the other coax end, and the remaining connections form the terminals for the trap.
