Can anyone explain the discrepancies between these books? |
What kind of specific construction is Newell suggesting, and in what application? Do you have a page reference? More than 2 leafs usually diminishes overall isolation performance, though if you do the calcs and measurements, it may improve in one area, while getting worse in some others. Therefore, on the whole you'd have to conclude that it's worse for generalized situations, but in a specialized application, use may be plausible. Without specific things to compare, I'm just flapping my gums.
