On looking at an old large well made home-made 6el broadcast Yagi beam (scrap)
as a starting point, I decided to re-model it using the MMANA-GAL program
(CD in 2010 RSGB yearbook & online). It showed it up to be rubbish as it was!
SUSY RADIO community radio station I put on, is too far away to hear at my home
so I needed a very good aerial. I wanted it to work well over the whole 20MHz
of UK's Band2 87.5-108MHz, with good Front to Back ratio & have some useful
gain.
Using the MMANA-GAL optimisation band options over frequencies near the edge of
Band2, I ended up with this, quite acceptable compromise in 20mm ally tube for
the elements, & boom was 40mm dia & 2.54m long!

AERIAL Z
The impedance of this folded dipole feed point is approx. 300� balanced over
most of the band. This is not normal for a folded dipole in this configuration,
as it increases the impedance by 4 & the reflector & director usually reduces
it by 4, resulting in the usual 75ohm. But this design is optimised for
bandwidth so we need to do extra matching, to get to 75ohm. I used a tiny
centre tapped VHF 2 hole ferrite bead as the balun, with 2x 2 turns on the
middle core if it, all in the connection box.

Z MEASUREMENTS
Using a MFJ analyser, the match to 75ohm is pretty good over most of the band
as predicted by the model.
IN USE
It works well, 75ohm SWR was quite flat as above. But now regret I did not
designed it to be a spot frequency narrow band 1MHz wide aerial for SUSY RADIO
Rx, as that would give 2-3dB more gain & > 22dB F/B ratio. The back of the beam
QRM is the main problem I have!

Why don't U send out an interesting bul?
