Introduction
This is a collection of all Yagi antenna designs that have appeared in the Whirlpool
forum thread Homemade NextG Yagi.


The above graphic is a representation of a basic yagi antenna with 5 elements. The number of
Director elements will vary according to the antenna design.
Distance measurements are given as the distance of each element from the Reflector element
and not from the previous element.
All measurements are in millimeters
Unless otherwise noted, all antennas use an element diameter of 10 mm.
