7-Element-Yagi for the 2m-Band with the 28-Ohm-DK7ZB-Match
Version 1: 144-146MHz broadband
Version 2: 144-145 MHz for SSB/CW use
Version 3: 144-144,8 MHz for EME/SSB/CW use
This antenna (Version 1) was described in the issue 2/2000 of the magazine "FUNKAMATEUR" , report "Kurze Yagis für das 2m-Band in bewährter 28-Ohm-Technik".
Short data: 11dBd gain, boomlength 3,30m, very good pattern. For the match see: DK7ZB-Match

Elementlengths and -positions:
Version 1 (broadband) Table of Elements with 4-10mm Diameter The radiator has always a diameter of 10mm!
|
|
Elements are mounted insulated above the boom with polyamid clamps for TV-Yagis (Konni) The screw in the center of the element has no influence to the length of the elements and is connected to the boom! |
Gain, SWR, Front/Rear and Feedpoint- Impedance
Best F/R in the CW/SSB-part of the 2m-Band
Version 2: 144-145 MHz for SSB/CW use
This version is for SSB/CW use, specially for stacking to groups (2x or 4x) with better gain at 144,3 MHz.
Elementpositions and -lengths: Radiator 12mm, parasitic elements 10mm, 8mm or 6mm, mounted with Polyamid clamps (see details for the other 2m-Yagis)
