What does a phasing harness do?
Phasing and matching harnesses can be used to combine multiple antennas into one output or to split antenna signals into multiple paths.
What is antenna phasing harness?
Diamond Antenna Phasing Harnesses provide 2-port phased power division. They are designed for stacking two 2-meter or two 70-cm beams. When you connect your feed line to the SO-239 (UHF female) center, it then provides two outgoing cables terminated in PL-259 connectors.
How do you stack Yagi antennas?
Stacking too far apart will increase the vertical sidelobe levels, and make the vertical pattern narrower as the sidelobes eat into the main lobe. Wider stacking will also make the antenna bigger and less strong. There are no practical advantages here, so avoid excessive stacking distance!
Does length of coax affect SWR?
As the reflected wave travels back up the cable, it adds to the magnitude of the incident wave where it arrives in-phase with it, and subtracts from the magnitude of the incident wave where it arrives out of phase with it. …
How far apart do antennas need to be?
As a general rule, the inside antenna and the outside antennas need 20 feet vertical OR 50 feet horizontal separation. If those distances are not feasible for your application, it can be achieved by doing a combination of the two (E.g, 10 feet vertical AND 30 feet horizontal).
What can you do with a phasing harness?
The phasing harness allows 2 or more yagis (beam antennia) to be co-phased or bound together as if they were one single much larger antennia. By phasing 2 yagis together you can increase your forward gain by at least 3dB, increase your front-to-back ratio and decrease your pattern width (narrow your beam).
What are the different types of antenna phasing harnesses?

How to build a phasing harness-Jon Finley?
Well… to phase two antennia, you have to “feed” them out of phase. In addition, since you are also combining two 50 ohm antennia together into one, you have to deal with an impedance mis-match. To solve the phase issue we feed the antennia with feed-line that is an odd number of quarter waves in length.
How to calculate the feed line phasing harness?
However Roy Lewallen W7EL has a similar feed system called current forcing and wrote an application called Arrayfeed1 that will calculate the line lengths if you know the driving impedances. This you can find by modeling the antenna system EZNEC with two sources then look at the Source Data for the values to plug into Arrayfeed1.
