4-Element- 12,5-Ohm-Yagi with 3,60m-Boom

 

 

Short data: Gain 8,2dBd, F/R >26dB, bandwidth 300KHz (50.0-50.3 MHz) at SWR < 1.5

This type is in use at the station DL8FAJ and was at DL8FBC, both worked WAC in 2000/2001

The table for 12-mm and 10-mm-elements (also radiator), no tapering

Element Position Length (12 mm) Length (10 mm)
Ref 0 mm 2980 mm 2986 mm
Rad 750 mm 2818 mm 2826 mm
D 1 2075 mm 2746 mm 2756 mm
D 2 3580 mm 2686 mm 2700 mm

Match with 2xLambda/4 50-Ohm-coax in parallel to a grounded socket, feedpoint impedance 50Ohm. 

An other construction for the radiator is a folded dipole with an impedance of 50Ohm (4x12.5Ohm). At the feedpoint use a toroid balun 1:1 (T 200-6) to match the symmetrical load to the coax-cable.

Important: The antenna has extremly high gain and F/B for the given length, but bandwidth is small and the yagi needs a very free surrounding!
