Thank you very much - that helped a lot
Basic Antennas - Seeking clarification KJ4ZCV on 8/2/21
Hello - I’m reading ARRL’s Basic Antennas book, and on page 5-4, it says:
The load impedance, resistive or complex repeats every half wavelength, for example. The impedance goes to the opposite extreme in odd multiples of a quarter wavelength. For example, our 25 Ohm load would get transformed to 100 Ohm in quarter or three quarter wavelength transmission line sections and vice versa.

- What is meant here by “opposite extreme”? Opposite to what? What extreme?
-How is the 100 Ohm value determined?
- What is meant by “vice versa” here? Zero Ohms?

Is there anyone who can refer to this section of the book able to throw light on this?

Thank you!
