A yagi can be made with a direct dipole feed, which is very simple.

Please explain how. All the yagis I've heard of have a very low
feedpoint impedance. How do you use 50 ohm coax without a matching
device of some kind?
See for example

just depends on how you tune the yagi. Give up a little (0.5 dB?) gain,
and the impedance can be 50 ohms.
