4-Element-50-Ohm-V-Yagi with 2,20m-Boom

Two Yagis with 2,20m boom and 28 and 50 Ohm see down!

This Yagi is a new development with an outstanding pattern. The radiator is bent to a "V" with the result that the impedance of the 28-Ohm-Yagi is raised to 50 Ohms and the F/R is really impressive! The bandwidth is smaller as with the 28-Ohm-OWA-Yagi, but broad enough.

The tips of the radiator are bent with an angle of 5,5° towards the reflector.

Gain 6,65 dBd

F/B 33 dB

Boom 2,20 m

EZNEC-4-EL-V-Yagi

4-Element-28-Ohm-OWA-Yagi with 2,20m-Boom

Short Yagi with great bandwidth, SWR <1,5 for 2MHz

Design good for mounting 1,50m above a short-wave beam without detuning

Description in magazin "Funkamateur" 6/2006

Important: In the "Funkamateur" article is a mistake for the length of D1 (my failure)!

Gain 6,2dBd
F/B 24dB

The antenna was used for the DX-peditions

J5NAR  and  6W/HA6NAR

Construction of the radiator with 2x250mm of 16x1,5mm alu and end pieces of 12x1mm for tuning.

Given length of 2930mm is from tip to tip.

The picture shows the construction of the radiator in the middle part with the mounting, the insulation and the choke.

For other details see the page "construction details".

The parasitic elements are constructed with one tube of 10mm diameter, the mounting clamps are the same as I use for the 2m- and 70cm-Yagis.

An additional piece on the top gives better mechanical stability.

The 2,20m-boom has two parts of 20x20x2mm square aluminium and an additional part with 1m length for better stability
