4x7-Element-Yagi
built by Dirk, ON1IM

The 4x7-
Element-Group
of

Herman,
PB0AHX

4xYagis
in H-configuration

Distance in
vertical plane is 2,85m and in horizontal plane is
3,00m between the Yagis.

You can stack the 4 Yagis with a harness of

coax-cables:

 Use
4x50-Ohm-cable, any length (l1), but all cables must have
the same length.
At the points X you have a feedpoint

impedance of 25Ohm. 

With
a quarter-wave transformer (lambda/4*V) of 2x50Ohm-coax
(l2) you transform
each side to 100Ohm, by connecting them
together at point Y you get the
desired 50Ohm for the cable to
your shack.

4xYagis
vertically stacked
This group is
a very good configuration for contests: Good horizontal angle of
radiation
and extermly low vertical elevation angle. Used by several contest-groups
in
Germany! The stacking distance between all Yagis is 3,00m, not easy to
handle!

You can stack the 4 Yagis

with a harness of coax-cables (75 Ohm). Here is the method
of
quarterwave-transformers used, too.

4x
lambda 5/4 or 7/4*V (l1) to the points X, then with further pieces of
lambda 5/4 or 7/4 *
V (l2) to the point Y with 50Ohm.

You
need less cable for this method as with 50Ohm cables and 75-Ohm-coax has
lower
losses as 50-Ohm-cables.

stacking of 3m.

Horizontal pattern is the same as with one Yagi.
