completely ready-to-DIY or manufacturing model, including metal boom, in-store available materials (15x15 mm aluminum profile and 6 mm aluminum rods/pipes), practical folded dipole bending & mounting scheme
I suggest to rescale or reoptimize model a few MHz up, it underperform on Ch13 (aperture is 1.17 m2 @ 216 MHz, while it is 1.4-1.5 m2 from 170 to 214 MHz.
It's not good to model rapid drop right inside working channel, especially taking into account manufacturing and balun influence
Can be rescaled to LTE-450/700/800
Main advantage is wideband rear lobe supression thanks to corner reflector.
Single rod designs have rear lobes up to 0..+3 dBi, which is good for LTE/HSPA modem, but not good for repeaters.
4 versions of 6R12D Yagi compare to NickML model. Black graph is "13-el Yagi" for reference perfomance
