Check the performance of your designs against average numbers computed by this Online Calculator Find 144 MHz charts below the calculator and 432 MHz chart at end of website. Top G/T I have defined as average numbers plus 0.2 dB which is an arbitrary number of coarse. - All numbers are for 4 Yagi Bays - Lets not forget that even a tiny advantage in G/T like 0.05 dB may mean little without reflecting on the - BAND WIDTH - of the compared antennas. For that design properties have to be realised on a real world build in first place. Image on base of data from the VE7BHQ G/T Table, Issue 93, June 2013 plus a few own entries: GTV2-8w+8n+9n+10LT+12n, G0KSC 8+9+10+12+14-ZB
Gain is gain! ... an important paramenter on 144 MHz ... as long as the Antenna Temperature is low enough! Image on base of data from the VE7BHQ G/T Table, Issue 93, June 2013
The Antenna Temperature Chart can be quite deceiving, as low T_ant without gain is easily achieved and means nothing without gain. The primary function of this image is to show how the average data are derived. Image on base of data from the VE7BHQ G/T Table, Issue 93, June 2013
