"What I meant was, none of the elements of a yagi are resonant, except perhaps the driven element." That`s usually right. The reflector is lengthened and directors are shortened to conveniently produce phase relations which determine reinforcement or repression in directions as desired. However, this is not the only way. Commercial broadcast curtain antenna arrays use parasitic elements which have the same length as the driven elements in some instances. Short-circuit stubs repalace drive lines in the parasitic elements, and these are adjusted for the desired phasing instead of adjusting element lengths. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
