Copper tape antenna element-model

Hi, I just aquired some 1/4" and 1/2" copper tape that is solderable.
Thinking about using as antenna elements in VHF yagi, UHF TV antenna as
well as other things. Question: When modelling, what wire diameter do
you use when the element is actually conductive tape? Thanks.

The diameter of the model wire should be half the width of the tape.

Half the width as a first approximation.
