5.2 470-MHz and 2440-MHz Smith Chart, SWR, Bandwidth and Efficiency

Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8 shows the theoretical Smith chart for matching the antenna for dual-band 470 and 2440 MHz with a theoretical SWR of 1.023 and 1.047.

Further tuning of the resonance of the antenna was needed after realizing the theoretical match. Figure 5-9 and Figure 5-10 shows the resulting impedance and SWR which at 1.201 for 470 MHz and 1.278 for 2440 MHz is less than the threshold for a good match of SWR < 2.0. Table 5-3 shows the BOM with components used to relies the matching network given in Figure 1-2.

The bandwidth of the antenna defined by SWR < 2.0 can be seen in Figure 5-10 to be 484-459 = 25 MHz for 470 MHz and 2556-2290 = 266 MHz for 2440 MHz.
