7-Element-28-Ohm-Yagi with 9.30m-Boom

(7-El.-50-Ohm-Yagi with 7.75m-Boom (see down)

 

Gain 10.9 dBd (13.05 dBi), F/B 30dB

Bandwidth 1MHz (49.8-50.8 MHz) at SWR < 1.5

This Yagi was built first for 2m and  and the pattern was verified by measurement. After that the Yagi was scaled for the 6m-Band.

Match with 2xlambda/4 75-Ohm-coax in parallel to a grounded socket, feedpoint impedance 50Ohm (DK7ZB-match)

 The element-current-profile at 50.150MHz shows the basis for the good pattern. Yagis with bad profile have many sidelobes, poor F/R and not the best gain.
