Antenna Gain and Performance Comparisons

The DX-Antennas Shoot Out compares commercial antenna models using EZNEC analysis. Read each model page alongside the assumptions below: these are modelling comparisons, and the stated exclusion of material and matching-device losses matters when interpreting the results.

Compare these analyses with the free Yagi construction plans and the article on antenna gain versus boom length.

 A EZNEC SHOOT OUT BETWEEN DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL AVAILIBLE MODELS : 

What can we expect from the below commercial availilbe antennas ?

 

Detailed specifications provided by EZNEC PRO 4

 

All antennas were verified using EZNEC PRO4 with either a NEC4 or NEC5 engine.

All antennas were verified without inserting any loss from either material nor from a matching device.
