Stacked Yagi Antenna Experiment for our Normandy Expedition
Steven, ON4CLC stacked two different Yagi's as an experiment: a homebrew optimised 9-element and a commercial 11-element from Tonna.
These are the estimated specs:
Gain 15dBd (17,2dBi)
F/B 22dB
Angle 25°
Stacking distance 2 meters
Ex.: Power 100 Watts (Transmitter power)
Loss 1.3 dB (System losses from transmitter to antenna)
Gain 15 dBd (antenna gain)
Effective radiated power with respect to dipole antenna (ERPd) is 63.7 dBm or 2344.2 Watts
These are the specs of each antenna:
Gain 10,5 dBd
F/B 26dB
Angle 34°
Boom Length 3.05 m
