Yagi Antennas in Modern Communication- Our Technological Leaps

The Yagi antenna, a classic in the realm of wireless communication, has stood the test of time due to its exceptional performance in HF, VHF, and UHF bands. Known for its precision and effectiveness in long-distance, point-to-point communication, the Yagi antenna remains a popular choice for various applications. As experts in wireless antenna technology, RF element is proud to offer a range of Yagi antennas designed to meet the needs of the modern communication landscape.

Understanding the Yagi Antenna's Working Principle

The Yagi antenna's functionality is based on a straightforward yet powerful concept. It is an end-fire antenna made up of an active element, a passive reflector, and several passive directors arranged in parallel. The operation of a three-element Yagi antenna exemplifies this principle:

• The reflector, slightly longer than half a wavelength, is inductive, and its induced current lags behind the induced electromotive force by 90°.

• The active element, located one-quarter wavelength in front of the reflector, has its induced electromotive force leading the reflector's by 90°, with the currents being in phase.

• This phase relationship results in the superposition and enhancement of the induced electromotive force between the reflector and the active element, with the directors further amplifying this effect.

Adjusting Your Yagi Antenna for Peak Performance

Adjusting a Yagi antenna involves fine-tuning its resonant frequency and standing wave ratio (SWR) for optimal performance. Here's a simplified guide to adjusting your Yagi antenna:

1. Set Up the Antenna: Position the antenna about 1.5 meters from the ground and connect it to a standing wave meter for initial measurements.

2. Fine-Tuning the Capacitance: Adjust the fine-tuning capacitor's capacitance to minimize the antenna's standing wave when the transmitter frequency is set to 435MHz.

3. Resonant Frequency Check: Ensure the antenna's resonant frequency is around 435MHz. If not, replace the active element with a slightly longer or shorter one and remeasure.

4. Adjust the Short-Circuit Rod: Make small adjustments to the position of the short-circuit rod and fine-tune the capacitor to achieve the lowest SWR around 435MHz.

5. Isolate Adjustments: When making adjustments, change one parameter at a time to identify patterns and make precise adjustments.
