YagiUda antenna Wikipedia. Drawing of YagiUda VHFtelevision antenna from 1. MHz USA channels. It has five elements three directors to left one reflector to right and a driven element which is a folded dipole double rod to match the 3. The beam direction direction of greatest sensitivity is to the left. A three element YagiUda antenna used for long distance skywave communication in the shortwave bands by an amateur radio station. The longer reflector element left, the driven element centre, and the shorter director right each have a so called trap parallel LC circuit inserted along their conductors on each side, allowing the antenna to be used at two different frequency bands. A YagiUda antenna, commonly known as a Yagi antenna, is a directional antenna consisting of multiple parallel elements in a line,1 usually half wave dipoles made of metal rods. YagiUda antennas consist of a single driven element connected to the transmitter or receiver with a transmission line, and additional parasitic elements which are not connected to the transmitter or receiver a so called reflector and one or more directors.

Shintaro Uda of Tohoku Imperial University, Japan,5 and with a lesser role played by his colleague Hidetsugu Yagi. The reflector element is slightly longer than the driven dipole, whereas the directors are a little shorter. This design achieves a very substantial increase in the antennas directionality and gain compared to a simple dipole. Also called a beam antenna,4 or parasitic array, the Yagi is very widely used as a high gain antenna on the HF, VHF and UHF bands. It has moderate to high gain which depends on the number of elements used, typically limited to about 2. Bi,3linear polarization,3 unidirectional end fire beam pattern3 with high front to back ratio of up to 2. The bandwidth of a Yagi antenna, the frequency range over which it has high gain, is narrow, a few percent of the center frequency, and decreases with increasing gain,34 so it is often used in fixed frequency applications. The largest and best known use is as rooftop terrestrial television antennas,3 but it is also used for point to point fixed communication links,2 in radar antennas,4 and for long distance shortwave communication by shortwave broadcasting stations and radio amateurs. OriginseditThe antenna was invented in 1. Shintaro Uda of Tohoku Imperial University, Japan,5 with a lesser role played by his colleague Hidetsugu Yagi. However the Yagi name has become more familiar with the name of Uda often omitted. This appears to have been due to Yagi filing a patent on the idea in Japan without Udas name in it, and later transferring the patent to the Marconi Company in the UK. Yagi antennas were first widely used during World War II in radar systems by the British, US, Germans and Japanese. After the war they saw extensive development as home television antennas.

Design Microstrip Patch Antenna' title='Design Microstrip Patch Antenna' />Exact spacings and element lengths vary somewhat according to specific designs. The YagiUda antenna consists of a number of parallel thin rod elements in a line, usually half wave long, typically supported on a perpendicular crossbar or boom along their centers. There is a single driven element driven in the center consisting of two rods each connected to one side of the transmission line, and a variable number of parasitic elements, a single reflector on one side and optionally one or more directors on the other side. The parasitic elements are not electrically connected to the transmitter or receiver, and serve as passive radiators, reradiating the radio waves to modify the radiation pattern. Typical spacings between elements vary from about  11. The directors are slightly shorter than the driven element, while the reflectors are slightly longer. The radiation pattern is unidirectional, with the main lobe along the axis perpendicular to the elements in the plane of the elements, off the end with the directors. Conveniently, the parasitic elements have a node point of zero RFvoltage at their centre, so they can be attached to a conductive metal support at that point without need of insulation, without disturbing their electrical operation. They are usually bolted or welded to the antennas central support boom. The driven element is fed at centre so its two halves must be insulated where the boom supports them. El Rey Solito Pdf Completo. The gain increases with the number of parasitic elements used. Only one reflector is used since the improvement of gain with additional reflectors is negligible, but Yagis have been built with up to 3. The bandwidth of the antenna is the frequency range between the frequencies at which the gain drops 3 d. B one half the power below its maximum.

There is a tradeoff between gain and bandwidth, with the bandwidth narrowing as more elements are used. For applications that require wider bandwidths, such as terrestrial television, YagiUda antennas commonly feature trigonal reflectors, and larger diameter conductors, in order to cover the relevant portions of the VHF and UHF bands. Wider bandwidth can also be achieved by the use of traps, as described below. YagiUda antennas used for amateur radio are sometimes designed to operate on multiple bands. These elaborate designs create electrical breaks along each element both sides at which point a parallel LC inductor and capacitor circuit is inserted. This so called trap has the effect of truncating the element at the higher frequency band, making it approximately a half wavelength in length. At the lower frequency, the entire element including the remaining inductance due to the trap is close to half wave resonance, implementing a different YagiUda antenna. Using a second set of traps, a triband antenna can be resonant at three different bands. Given the associated costs of erecting an antenna and rotor system above a tower, the combination of antennas for three amateur bands in one unit is a very practical solution. The use of traps is not without disadvantages, however, as they reduce the bandwidth of the antenna on the individual bands and reduce the antennas electrical efficiency and subject the antenna to additional mechanical considerations wind loading, water and insect ingress. Theory of operationedit. YagiUda antenna for use at 1. MHz 2 mConsider a YagiUda consisting of a reflector, driven element and a single director as shown here. HH.png' alt='Design Microstrip Patch Antenna' title='Design Microstrip Patch Antenna' />The driven element is typically a 2 dipole or folded dipole and is the only member of the structure that is directly excited electrically connected to the feedline. All the other elements are considered parasitic. That is, they reradiate power which they receive from the driven element they also interact with each other. One way of thinking about the operation of such an antenna is to consider a parasitic element to be a normal dipole element of finite diameter fed at its centre, with a short circuit across its feed point. As is well known in transmission line theory, a short circuit reflects all of the incident power 1. IEEE MTTS. International Microwave Symposium 1722 JUNE 2012 MONTRAL, QUBEC, CANADA.
