Feb 20, 2022 · Wire Beam Antennas provide a great blance between cost, complexity, performance and ease of installation. This article explores popular...

In general we can divide Hex Beam antennas into two catgegories, "Classical" and the G3TXQ "Broadband" Hex Beam. The Classical Hex Beam is shown on the top of the picture on the …

My wire Yagi antennas are all mono band so that keeps the design simple, Resonant frequency, and SWR adjustments are simple to monitor and adjust with an antenna analyzer such as a …

Feb 15, 2023 · These antennas are designed for 50 ohm feed, and a wide enough SWR bandwidth to cover much of the band, as well as being relatively tolerant of field conditions. …

Those fortunate enough could get by with a couple of dipoles and a tri-band beam. Most simply used wire antennas and matched them the best they could, usually with the output circuitry in …

Consider the 2-element wire 40 meter beam. It is an improvement over the dipole in several ways. 1. It provides forward gain; 2. It provides rear attenuation; and 3. It lowers the elevation angle …

Here's a very simple antenna to build which only requires two supports and is easy to install. The only cost is some wire and rope plus PVC scrap for the insulators!

Oct 23, 2024 · Two element, single-mast, multi-band wire beam antenna with the option to have 4 locally or remotely switchable directions. What is a beam antenna? It is a directional antenna …

A wire beam is a type of Yagi antenna using 2 or more wire elements. Bamboo or wood was often used as spreaders in the past, but now days we typically see PVC or even better, fiberglass …
