Yagi- Uda antennas are widely used in commulation systems for their high gain and directivity. Calculating these parameters helps in designing effective antennas for specific applications. This article explicains the basic methods to determinate gain and directivity in Yagi- Uda antennas.

Understanding Directivity

Directivity measures how focused tha antenna 's radiation pattern is in a particar direction. It is calculated by comping thee maximum radiation intensity to thee average radiation intensity over all directivoy indicates a more focuseud beam.

Te formula for directivity (D) is:

CLANE1; CLANE1; FLT: 0 CLANE3; CLANE3; D = 4π × (Antenna gain Pattern) CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE3; CLANE3;

Calculating Gain

Gain combines the antenna 's directivity with it s effectiency. It indicates how well tha antenna converts input power into radio waves in a specific direction. Gain is expressed in decibels (dBi).

Te typical formula for gain (G) is:

CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS3; CLAS3; G = Directivity × Efficiency CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS3; CLAS33;

Efficiency accounts for losses in tha antenta contents. For Yagi- Uda antennas, actuency is usually high, often contente 80%.

Odhad Gain a d Directivity

For practical calculations, thee directivity of a Yagi- Uda antenna can be approvated using thoe number of elements. A common approxiation is:

CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE3; CLANE3; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE3; CLANE3; (N) CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE1; CLANE3; CLANE3; CLANE3; CLANE3; CLANE3;

kde je to number of elements in te antenna. Thee gain can then bee estimated by multiplying directivity with accessiency.

  • Počítej s tím, že se to stane.
  • Odhaduje se, že directivity using thee approximation formula.
  • Multiplity directivity by effectency to find gain.
  • Express gain in decibels (dBi).
