Default Mr. Yagi?



When one is referring to a directional recieving antenna, where does
the word Yagi come from? Is it the name of the person who invented it,
or is there a different story behind it? Just curious...

Actually, the correct name for the antenna is a "Yagi-Uda", named after the two
Japanese engineers who developed it.

A Japanese friend of mine says that "yagi" means "goat" in Japanese. So the
antenna was invented by "Mr. Goat" and the antenna itself is the "goat
antenna."

Yagi is the name of the man who invented the antenna design which bears his name,
yes. I believe he was (or possibly still is) Japanese.

The Yagi was invented by two Japanese engineers, Hidetsu Yagi and
Shintaro Uda back in the 1930's. I do not know if either is still
alive, but they called it a Yagi-Uda.

I do, however, know that there is no Mr. Crest.

It was invented in the 1930s by Mr. Yagi and Mr. Uda, whom I think were at
the University in Kyoto. Their book is still in print, I believe.
