When will you use a Yagi antenna ?

- In this video we discuss how a Yagi could help your 4G or 5G internet and phone connections using a Yagi antenna. It will have some challenges with bandwidth, and as a narrow band antenna may not be the obvious choice.
There is a good reason why Yagis can be used over other antennas as well. Now, a fundamental thing of a Yagi antenna - it has a single resonator in the middle. So, it's one antenna with one purpose only one single frequency. With a Yagi you can get more gain than with any other fundamental basic antenna. Not talking about dish or parabolas here. They are completely in their own league, and they would be bigger at gain, but they are more clunky. In this case, I'm talking about comparing LPDAs, which is an antenna that looks like a fish bone, but it has gradual elements, smaller and smaller, comparing it to potentially a panel antenna, such as an XPOL-2. And then in the same category, I would put a Yagi antenna as an option. A Yagi antenna has one purpose, one frequency where it works well. Now that frequency can be wide-ish. So, it's a whole range of frequencies. But if you look at what 4G and 5G and like, let's say, dual band Wi-Fi, or Wi-Fi 6E would do, they require much more than what a single Yagi can ever dream of doing.
If you want the best gain you can get for your setup, and you know I'm only ever going to get one specific frequency for one network operator. In that case, don't think about future proofing anything. Go hard on the one that you know is going to work such as down the line. If you know, well I'm only going to get, for instance, 700 megahertz or 800 megahertz here where I am. You could do some research. You could get somebody to do a desktop or a site survey for you and they tell you, there's only one frequency that you can use. Yagi is an awesome idea. Higher gain.
You can still install two antennas so you can make it a MIMO. If you have a single antenna you can use it on a repeater such as Cel-Fi GO. If you use two antennas, you can put it on a RUT360. You can match it up with your Nighthawk M6. If you go to our website, you can add cables and details, or adapters that is needed for your specific modem as well. But the Yagi, the benefit is higher gain. The negative is one frequency only. So that's why I still prefer the LPDA over the Yagi when we talk to customers.
Unless you know you want the single antenna or single frequency specific frequency, then definitely consider a Yagi antenna for hard-to-reach places. Mountains is an awesome example of hard-to-reach places. You may get reflections, but you won’t get a signal that is a tower behind any of these hills. Physically I'm here and I'm stuck. There's absolutely no internet. You say, well let's get the best band 28, 700 meg that we can get. There's not going to be any 5G anytime soon. Go for a Yagi, get that. You will have a good signal and that's then what you will do.

Hi awesome channel,.. am learning a lot,.. i live in an apartment block,.. floor 29 and there are 2 cell towers i can see below me from my balcony ,.. one 120 metres and the other approx 300 metres,.. but i still have big problems getting a 4g lte data signal,.. i would appreciate yor advice on how to overcome this issue,.. many thanks
The fact that you see the antennas below you is a bit of a concern :)
Normally, the towers are setup such that the antennas face down a little bit...so the network operators are not really paying a lot of attention to the users higher than the tower (at least that would be my first guess). Best would be to get a decent directional antenna and face it towards the tower, but also drop it a bit so it faces "down" towards the tower.
Would this work in. Shtf scenario for free wifi??
Don’t quite get what you are trying say or ask? Antennas’ main purpose is NOT to get free WiFi
@@RFShop in a grid down scenario. Will this work for wifi? Will we be able to pull it out the air? Hope that clears it up a bit.
@@SOILSISTA it does. You still need some signal, unfortunately. You can't pluck WiFi from thin air (so to speak)
Good evening sir it me again but this time i need your help Tplink EAP225 what type of antenna using cause me i want to extending long range from my router i saw on internet 2,4ghz yagi using RP-SMA or SMA
That should work quite well
here sir i was busy searching 5ghz yagi outdoor wifi extender like 2,4ghz i failed to found online can you help me to found am ?
Agreed, wish I went all in on one frequency, because I can only get 723mhz anyway, those far travelling bands.
If someone is looking at getting an antenna they are likely far from towers so they will probably only get that 700mhz approx. band anyway, LPDA setups for someone close to cell towers or maybe people in caravans who can move around. But right at the edge of cell reception go yagi for sure.
Indeed...there's always a trade-off. Yagi has it's downside, but when you want the highest gain and there's only one option...go hard
