Two Versions of stacked 25-Ohm-Yagis (1,80 m and 2,00 m Boom)

Version 1:

The stacked 5-Element- 25-Ohm-2-m-Yagi, Boom 180 cm

Gain of each Yagi is 8,8 dBd, F/B  23 dB

3-dB-angles hor = 49,6°, ver = 61,6°

Gain of the stacked array 11,5 dBd

3-dB-angles hor = 50,0°°, ver = 25,4°

Stacking distance is 2,20 m

 

With two Yagis of 25-Ohm-impedance an easy stacking is possible. We need two pieces of 5/4-λ-coax-cable with 50 Ω. The 25 Ω at XX are transformed to 100 Ω at XX.

With both cables L1 and L2 parallel we get the 50 Ω for the cable to the TRX. The first 45 cm of the 175,5 cm long pieces are wound to a coax-choke for surpressing common mode currents. The two chokes are in the radiator-box, we do not need coax sockets and connectors.

The left picture shows the choke,here are 45 cm of the coax wound on a 25-mm-PVC-tube. The right picture shows the 2x50-Ohm resistors (1/2%) parallel. With both chokes and two resistors of 25 Ohm, length of 2x2,04 m Aircell-5 the SWR is 1,0. Between 144,0 and 144,5 MHz the impedance is 50 +/- j 0 Ohm. 

On 143 MHz R= 49 - j 5 Ohm, on 146 MHz R= 51 + j 5 Ohm, the impedance with an analyzer is shown down:
