3 Stacked Yagi Antennas


3 Stacked Yagi Antennas

The use of three antennas often represents a good compromise between increased antenna gain, mechanical feasibility, and satisfactory handleability

Antenna for UHF VHF Links

155



VHF/UHF Antennas - Using 75 Ohm TV coax instead of 50 Ohm Coax
Some use 75 Ohm coax exclusively and others never use it. Even though high grade 50 Ohm cable can be expensive, and 75 Ohm cable is readily available and cheap

YAGI 3 elements
Example for F = 145 MHz2.07m, spacings = 2.07x0.25 = 51.7 cm, reflector fed 151/F = 1.04m, elements alimentes 143/F= 98.6 cm 2 times 49.3cm, director = 137 / F 0.945mm, or a Boom of 1.05m, impedence = 50 ohms, gain = 7 DBD, RAV-AR = 20 DB

Yagi 9 elements 144mhz
The first director can be moved forward or backward to search for the best ROS

Yagi Uda 10 elementi 144mhz
Il boom e' lungo complessivamente 3 metri e 70 centimetri e puo essere realizzato in tubo di anticorodal o d'ottone

Yagi Ufh 18 element
Boom in aluminum of 2 / 2mm (tv) length 2.80 m,the parasitic elements may be isolated or not indifferently

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection

30 Volt Computer Power Supply Stack

30 Volt Computer Power Supply Stack A bonus was that i discovered that these did not need a standby load connected to the supply to keep them running just apply mains power and close the Start lead to ground
