Below described simple three elements vertical YAGI for the 2- meter Band. Model of the YAGI was simulated by RW4HFN. The antenna is very simple to make and tune. Antenna may be made from a rigid copper/aluminum wire. Antenna is tuned to minima SWR by tapping from the bottom of the resonator. So the antenna may be fed by 50/75- Ohm coaxial cable. Antenna may be scaled to another ham HF- VHF- UHF band.

Figure 1 shows design of the antenna.

Figure 2 shows Z of the antenna. Figure 3 shows SWR of the antenna. Figure 4 shows DD of the antenna.
