More reflectors = better?
Hoverman design for UHF TV:
http://www.digitalhome.ca/ota/superantenna/design.htm More reflectors would make it easier to bond them together (ie, a screen with only horizontal elements) for more physical strength. Does adding more reflectors introduce any negative byproducts? I see that in this design the reflectors are of particular lengths. Does this imply that lengthening them is counterproductive? Thanks. -- Al, the usual |

Thanks. -- Al, the usual From the discussion on that website, they make it sound like the antenna is pretty insensitive to whether a reflector screen or individual tuned reflectors are used. But it's obvious that there've been several folk involved with modelling and building these antennas in that group. Have you tried asking them? Seems like they're the ones with the experience. It's nice to see a practical homebrew antenna design like that. Thanks for posting the link. Cheers, Tom |
