490 MHz 7-El Yagi TRIAD H-POL OMNI-PLUS
Three 490 MHz (Single 8 MHz Channel) 7-El Yagi's in a TRIAD Array was analyzed using 4nec2
after Optimization for Omni-Directional coverage, revealing it is an OMNI-PLUS Antenna
(Gain significantly MORE than 0 dBd in ALL Directions), and is Horizontally Polarized, compatible
with most Receive TV Antennas.

Min Gain =3.8 dBi, Max Gain =4.3 dBi with SWR between 1.2 and 1.4, which leaves adequate margin
for other SWR degradations in a Transmitter Application, such as in the Feedline, Connectors and
Proximity to other objects.

Just one 7-El Yagi provides H-POL. Gain =  9.9 dBi, F/R Ratio = 3.4 dB, Beamwidth=44-deg and
Characteristic Impedance Zo=200-ohms.  So the specific OPTIMIZED Yagi has been specifically
crafted to have a specific Beam Pattern...and there is considerable Gain CANCELLATION between
the Yagi's in the Array....as well as COHERENT SUMMATION to fill in between each Antenna's
44-deg Beamwidth.  So the Yagi's were EXPLICITLY OPTIMIZED for this Application and I
wouldn't expect just any off-the-shelf set of Yagis would work anywhere near as well....
