PREPARING THE BOOM ASSEMBLY

EHU Placement

ELEMENT HOUSING UNIT (EHU) PLACEMENT

The UrbanBeam Yagi has two EHUs on the boom. One is a Driven element on 40 meters through 6 me-

ters, while the other is a Director on 20 meters through 6 meters.

For the purpose of building the antenna, we refer to the elements as Director and Driven elements as

shown in

Figure 1.01

below.

All the drawings in this manual are oriented so that you are looking inward at boom with the director to

the left and the driven to the right, as shown in

Figure 1.01
