I have spent about 4 months on 2m antenna test range playing with Yagi -
Quad - Razor (Quagi) designs. (before modeling software was available) Design objectives were to obtain best gain, F/B - clean pattern aand 50 ohm impedance. My findings we The maximum performance for 3 el. antenna was obtained from 3 el Quad. The rule seems to be quad elements work best with one on the front and one behind the driven quad element or log cell. For 4 el. parasitic antenna it was 3 Q and 1 Y element. For 5 and 6 el it was 3 Q 2 (3) Y For 7 el the winning combination was Y refl. Q refl. 2Q log driven cell, Q dir. 2x Y dir. For over 7 el. I would just keep adding Yagi directors. See http://www.k3bu.us/razor_beams.htm for some pictures on the cover CQ Magazine featuring stacked 15 m 7 el Razors. Hope it helps. 73 Yuri, K3BU, VE3BMV |
