INTRODUCTION This small log periodic antenna, which we call the ‘Logi’, is ideal for getting the maximum performance out of any UHF to low frequency microwave wireless system. Its directional properties “compresses” the signal into a powerful beam that is 4 times more powerful in the desired direction. It is the ideal antenna for scanners, wireless LANs, and other wireless devices. Its directional properties make it exceptionally well suited for point-to-point links! The units small size

STANDARD HOOK-UP Normal applications are well suited by the default performance of the unit without the need for cumbersome reflective elements. The standard wiring configuration is simply to use the Logi as the complete antenna and merely add a means of connection for your radio. The easiest method to interface your antenna and radio is through the use of a coaxial cable with a pre-mounted connector. Standard RG-58 and a BNC connector are often used by ‘scanner buffs’ to quickly and easi

LOGI LOW FREQUENCY MODIFICATION If your radio system requires DC isolation or you plan to use your Logi below 900 MHz, the small connecting traces near the rear of the antenna should be cut. By removing these traces you can extend the effective frequency range down to 825 MHz. You will however wind up with some ‘lumps’ in the Soldered Coax Positioning matching response on the high frequency end.

frequency you plan to use. In the case of the Logi, 900 MHz was used to calculate the dimensions. A gain of 10 dB can be obtained with a reflector side length of one wavelength. A two wavelength reflector can be used to achieve upwards of 12 dB gain! It just means you’ll have a bit more wind resistance to factor in. The positioning of the Logi as the active element must also take into account the frequencies you’ll be dealing with. Thankfully, the physical layout of the circuit board t
