Version 2: The 7-Element-25-Ohm-Leightweight-Yagi for stacking

Boom 3,40 m   Broadband

Gain 11,05 dBd, F/B 26 dB

3-dB-Angles:  hor 39,6°   ver 44,6°

Stacking distance 2,80 m

With two Yagis of 25-Ohm- impedance an easy stacking is possible. We need two pieces of 5/4-λ-coax-cable with 50 Ω. The 25 Ω at XX are transformed to 100 Ω at XX. I use Aircell-5 with 2x2,04 m.

With both cables L1 and L2 parallel we get the 50 Ω for the cable to the TRX. The first 45 cm of the 204 cm long pieces are wound to a coax-choke for surpressing common mode currents. The two chokes are in the radiator-box, we do not need coax sockets and connectors.

The picture on the right side down shows the measuring of the stacking cable with 2x 50-Ω- resistors (0,5%) parallel for 25 Ω impedance.

 

The left picture shows the choke,here are 45 cm of the coax wound on a 25-mm-PVC-tube. The right picture shows the 2x50-Ohm resistors (1/2%) parallel. With both chokes and two resistors of 25 Ohm, length of 2x2,04 m Aircell-5 the SWR is 1,0. Between 144,0 and 144,5 MHz the impedance is 50 +/- j 0 Ohm. 

On 143 MHz R= 49 - j 5 Ohm, on 146 MHz R= 51 + j 5 Ohm, the impedance with an analyzer is shown down:
