This page is currently under development. Check back later for the full details on how to build a 2-meter Yagi antenna!
A Yagi-Uda antenna typically consists of a driven element (usually a dipole), a reflector, and one or more directors. The reflector is positioned behind the driven element, and the directors are placed in front of it. The antenna is directional, meaning it focuses the radio waves in one direction, which provides a gain in that direction.
Yagi antennas are popular because they offer a higher gain than simple omnidirectional antennas, making them ideal for communication over longer distances. In ham radio, this makes them excellent for repeaters and long-distance contacts.
