I'm currently looking at building some UHF (434mhz) yagi's, which will be used exclusively for receiving. I've come up with a few designs in software, though the impedance of them is not matched to my feed line (50Ω) - will I need to use a balun?
From what I understand, when an antenna is used for receiving only, the impedance match is less important than if it were being used for transmission. Could someone clarify if this is correct, and if a balun is still needed?
Thanks
