If the idea is to make a lightweight, portable 2m beam that can be squashed, packed and stuffed into a car trunk or something quickly, I'd skip the yagi altogether and go to a small quad. All the formulas go out the window when you use antennas indoors, because you have near-field absorptive and reflective materials right near the antennas. At the point of highest forward gain the main lobe becomes narrower in both the elevation and azimuth planes, and a backlobe is always present. If the phase is mismatched by 40 degrees electrical length and all other things being perfect Yeah right you will theoretically lose about 0. The impedance bandwidth is the range of frequencies above and below the center design frequency that the driven element's feedpoint will effectively accept power from the feedline. Our primary concern here is the impedance of the driven element, as this is where the transfer of rf energy from the feedline takes place. Is it a split dipole with an air gap between the two half-elements?

You will likely need to use something like 5 quarter-wavelength transformer cables to make them fit the span between antennas. Wide element spacing, large element diameter, wide pattern bandwidth, and low "Q" matching systems will all add to a wider impedance bandwidth.
I'd think a six foot long antenna would fit in almost any attic, but I remember you had some concern about the beamwidth for some kind of fixed pointing application. For example, two 75 ohm sections paralleled will equal Would it be advisable to connect a thick wire to this screw and "plug" it into the ground prong on the wall outlet or would this mess up the signal by grounding out some of it?
You would never be able to measure the difference between a It has a significant improvement over a rubber duck, the size is convenient, the beam is not so sharp that aiming is important, and the bandwidth is sufficient to cover the band. By varying both the spacing and director lengths many successful combin- ations are possible the pattern and the pattern bandwidth may be controlled.
For this reason, impedance matching devices are highly.

When you design "out" the backlobe, the pattern gets wider and the forward gain goes down. The impedance of this type of "balun" should be at or near the mid-point value between the feed point impedance and the feedline impedance. What would be a good arrangement to try with those? Now that you have some good background, consider the requirements on your antenna. In most cases, feedline impedance is 50 ohms, but rarely is the feedpoint yagii of a yagi 50 ohms.

I am just curious if the performance will increase and if I will get lucky and it will work. Since I want something "simple but effective" that can break down and travel, and I got hold of three TV-type rabbit ears for 99c each and that's all I thought, 3-element, nice and easy.
The other elements of the antenna should be installed thru the boom but if this is not possible for you, just mount them at the required spacing using your aygi. The spacing of the reflector will be between. With the parasitic beam in place, could I still use the 50 ohm feed cable to the actively fed beam? The theoretical gain of a quad over a Yagi with a similar number of elements cannot be attained if the quad elements are significantly smaller in diameter than the Yagi elements.

The radiation pattern bandwidth is the range of frequencies above and below the design frequency in which the radiation pattern remains consistent. The Balanced feed system: The antenna's radiation ygi bandwidth is the range of frequencies above and below the design frequency in which the pattern remains consistent.

Two runs below, the first has 4 elements, the second has three. Your name or email address: You can grab it between the reflector and driven element with your body behind the reflector and use it vertically polarized - longer antennas will wear out your wrist faster.
Construction considerations aside, it is the better of the feed systems. Staggered element lengths generally provide greater bandwidth, uniform element lengths generally optimize for a single frequency; although by varying other things such as element spacing you can actually swap those parameters.
This 6 meter 6 element SSB yagi was designed and optimized for best yxgi match using Round them off to next highest or lowest number and forget about them. I'm not going to obsess over it, but I'm certainly willing to tweak before I start cutting.
