YBN 850-13 Yagi



LTE Low Noise Yagi covering 800 to 860 MHz LTE band

Emphasising a high directivity factor over an extraordinary bandwidth predestinates this design to boost the signal-to-noise level in difficult spots for reception or to manage a connect at all in rural places.

Judging this antenna by comparing forward gain against advertised other LTE Yagis may not tell the full story. We often find quite opimistic gain numbers for boom length and bandwidth produced by marketing strategists. Not only on the field of LTE antennas. However I believe the key to an impressive Signal-to-Noise ratio especially for a wideband application is a very clean pattern. As whatever interfering signal occurring on the bandwidth of the receiving frontend of the LTE unit can not be suppressed by filters. Which otherwise would block a part of the designated band. To judge the abilities of a directive LTE antenna it takes both, gain and pattern cleanness. As the pair defines the ratio of signal and amount of noise received with it, known as Antenna G/T.

Attention: This is a directive antenna with a relatively high forward gain. Please keep transmission power inside the allowed limits in accordance to your local Telecommunication Regulations. Here is a link to my EIRP-Online Calculator
