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

(A 4m long Yagi see down)

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

Picture shows the homemade Yagi by ZP5YW.

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

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

Important: The antennas have extremly high gain and F/B for the given length, but bandwidth is small and the yagis needs a very free surrounding. You must mount the Yagi on a separate mast, not together with other antennas!
