Well, everything stated may be true... but I have never seen a beam where
you would confuse the reflectors from the directors by physical size... if
in doubt and you wish to confirm this--just look up!

Warmest regards,

| When modelling close spaced element antenma
| assemblies it is possible that some elements are
| physically longer than the "driven" element.
| Is the length of a element sufficient enough to
| declare that element a " reflector" or are there
| other caveates involved.( i.e. phase)
| As background to this question I would point
| out that that it is possible to have two closed
| spaced (positioned) elements one of which is
| shorter and one of which is longer than
| the "driven " element, this combination being
| placed either forward or to the rear of the
| "driven " element.
