This paper presents the design and implementation of a 11 element Yagi-Uda antenna using aluminum tubing of diameter 10mm with high electrical conductivity and reflecting ability. The antenna operates in very high frequency (VHF) band covering a frequency range of 140 to 150MHz. It has a gain of 10.7 dB and a maximum coverage distance of about 340 kilometers. It was constructed as a prototype VHF amateur antenna and tested with different amateur radio station. Measurement result shows that the antenna works well and can be used as a reliable and cost effective homebrew amateur VHF Antenna. |
