Suitable for SDR and analogue radios
If a Long Wire antenna is used an impedance matching device is essential to match the high impedance figure of the antenna, tipical 450Ω, with the 50Ω standard impedance of radio equipments.
Matching the antenna-radio system impedances can boost signal strength up to 20 dB, in worst impedance mismatch cases, allowing signals to cut through interference and noise more effectively.
In addition it avoids the use of antenna tuning devices.
A high isolation broadband transformer wound on a large toroid core is included in order to avoid distortion products due excessive RF levels.
A gas discharge tube is included as protection against electrostatic discharges.
