Formula & Theory
Reflector = 0.505λ, Driven = 0.475λ, Director = 0.45λThis formula is used to calculate antenna parameters for yagi antenna calculator.
Overview
Yagi Antenna Calculator supports directional antennas planning with a practical calculation based on the displayed inputs.
Input Guide
Enter Frequency, Number of Elements, Element Spacing Factor exactly in the units shown by this yagi antenna. Check the operating band, unit prefix, and decimal position before calculating; these are the inputs used by the formula.
- Frequency — use MHz.
- Number of Elements — use count.
- Element Spacing Factor — use λ.
Output Guide
The results describe the calculated yagi antenna values for the inputs you entered. Check each value against the available space, selected components, feed system, and operating conditions before making a final design decision.
How This Calculator Works
The Yagi Antenna uses Reflector = 0.505λ, Driven = 0.475λ, Director = 0.45λ. Supply Frequency (MHz), Number of Elements (count), Element Spacing Factor (λ) in the displayed units, then use the calculated values as the first engineering target for this directional antennas design or analysis.
Design Notes
Installed performance can vary with frequency, losses, tolerances, environment, and system configuration.
Build and Tuning Notes
Use the result as a starting point, then validate the completed system with measurement or simulation.
