There is presented 6 elements directional antenna for the 50- MHz Band. Antenna has good SWR at the band and excellent F/B ratio. Antenna allows to be made with some tolerance. It is very convenient for because in real life it is very hard to note all outer environment objects. Antenna has 50- Ohm input impedance that allows feed the antenna directly by 50- Ohm coaxial cable.

Figure 1 shows schematic of the antenna. Antenna elements made of tube in diameter of 16- mm.

The antenna has reflector and driver vibrator with bent ends. It is done to improve F/B ratio and pass band frequency. Anyway you may play with model of the antenna in MMANA and check what you could reach.

Figure 2 shows Z of the 6 element antenna for the 50- MHz Band. Figure 3 shows SWR of the 6 element antenna for the 50- MHz Band. Figure 5 shows DD of the 6 element antenna for the 50- MHz Band.
