View Full Version : FM Antenna Resources
More detailed information may be found in ARRL and RSGB volumes
intended for the amateur radio community. Armed with some basic test
equipment you can consistently beat antenna solutions offered in the
high end market with wire, insulators, or baluns, or if room permits
the erection of a commercially made antenna and rotor built for the TV
or Amateur markets. Many perfectly good Yagi antenna and rotor setups
were installed in the sixties, seventies and eighties and are in disuse
due to cable TV and satellite installs. If installed under a roof as
many were they may be in excellent condition and awaiting repurposing ,
especially those specifically designed for FM band reception (as most

The Yagi is a wideband, low gain design.
It will undoubtedly work better than a folded dipole.
However, Radio Shack has a very nice FM beam, p/n 15-2163
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=15-2163
for $25 !
Many people have hung these from high ceilings as mobiles. Alternately, the
antenna can be tacked to a wall.
Because the directionality vastly reduces multipath, it can provide better
reception even if aiming it at the strongest signal is not possible.

It does appear I have to make a clarification.
I have consulted my graduate antenna design textbook, Antenna Theory,
Analysis and Design, Balanis, 1982.
Yagi-Uda designs can be made to satisfy a variety of parameters, including
gain, bandwidth, directionality, and input impedance.
TV Yagis are obviously designed for very wide bandwidth, which implies low
gain.
What I did not remember is that a narrowband FM beam also appears to be a
Yagi, but designed according to an entirely different set of parameters,
where gain is paramount.
So what I should have said is that TV Yagis are wide band, and less than
optimal for FM reception.
The simple Radio Shack 5 element FM beam is probably also a Yagi-Uda, since
I cannot find any reference to a director/reflector design schema other than
Yagi-Uda.

Yes, you can juggle with spacing, element length and diameter to alter
these parameters. A Yagi is broadband compared to what exactly? Not
compared to discone, a helical or even, I would guess, a log
periodic, dipole, rhombic or practically anything else.

I would not want any high gain 88.3MHz antenna in my room although I
did have a huge helical in my attic once..

Discones are pretty and wideband if you have vertical polarization. No
gain though. . I had one of those too and a 4 element quad.

So, two major technical errors in one thread corrected by a guy called
"Goofball". It seems Drexel had ample reason to deny my poor son Robert his
"degree", despite his spending tens of thousands of MY dollars and years
claiming he was studying.
There are lots of talented, skilled, and successful people in the world.
It's just that Robert Morein is not one of them.
I don't know how I'm going to keep him occupied as the usenet slowly
collapses. He hasn't been very interested in the basket weaving.

An idea that was worth nothing, because it didn't work. Just like

Funnily enough, Drexel AGREED to reinstate Morein, who rejected the

Because it was bogus. Even Kalata was mortified that he was a victim
of this SCAMSTER, Robert Morein.
