Default converting from dipole/inverted vee to beam

Will adding the reflector
and/or director change the resonant frequency, or just the impedance?



Wow, I sure generated a lot of complex discussion. This was supposed
to be a general question with a simple answer such as, "Yes, the
dipole or inverted vee will have to be lengthened." (or shortened).

I do gather from earlier posts that the driven element will shift
frequency with the introduction of parasitic elements.

Thanks for all the answers.
