Right..... so what creats it, this "squeezing" that you talk about and
from where does this "squeezing force come from in an "appropiate"array?
That's what I was asking not a discussion of what the Yagi array
produces. Why does the lobe narrow?

Narrowing is the natural result of the vector addition of the separate EM
waves radiated from the individual sources comprising the Yagi (or any other
kind of directional array).

Great! I would disagree with respect to "any other type of directional array
but I would like a further insight to the mechanics of vector array that
produces
this phenomina. I would like to reproduce this effect else where if I could.

Suggest you get this background from a good read of just about any of the
many antenna textbooks available. It's a bit much to deal with in a NG
forum.
