Log Periodic Antenna (LPDA)

The FT-RF Log Periodic Antenna, also known as LPDA (Log-Periodic Dipole Array), is a wideband directional antenna designed to provide combined gain and directivity over a broad frequency spectrum. While both Log-Periodic and Yagi antennas offer high directional gain, the primary advantage of the LPDA is its ability to support significantly wider frequency bandwidths. Although typically physically larger than a Yagi of equivalent gain, the LPDA operates with a typical VSWR of 2:1 and maintains consistent performance across its range, making it ideal for wideband applications where stability is key.
