I'm getting an initial impression that there might be three basic forms of
traditional yagi (not log-periodic) when considering the issue of bandwidth. Common Yagi (whatever that may be) . This has a fairly narrow bandwidth, not sure of the typical bandwidth in precentage terms of the designed frequency. Perhaps 1% at a guess. Here there has been no effort to concentrate on making any form of wideband antenna. Optimised Wideband Antenna (OWA). This has a fairly wide bandwidth, not sure of the typical bandwith maybe 3 or 4 percent of the design frequency. Here some effort has been put into making something of a wideband antenna, but the design is not as wideband as is possible. Wideband Yagi. This is typically the antenna having the widest bandwith. Not sure of the typical bandwidth, but perhaps about 7% of the design frequency. If you were to draw up a list of traditional yagi' designs (including call letters of the designer if there is one) and place them in order of increasing bandwidth, what kind of list would you get? Here is my measly effort: Yagi (under no classification but yagi) OWA Wideband Yagi. I'm not sure where in a list you put DL6WU, W4RNL, DJ9BV, + other designs I know not of. Does a DL6WU yagi come under OWA or wideband yagi? Has anyone drawn up a definitive classification? |
