Consider a Yagi–Uda consisting of a reflector, driven element, and a single director as shown here. The driven element is typically a 1 ⁄ 2 λ dipole or folded dipole and is the only member of the structure that is directly excited (electrically connected to the feedline). All the other elements are considered parasitic. That is, they ...
Yagi antenna with one driven element (A) called a folded dipole, and 5 parasitic elements: one reflector (B) and 4 directors (C). The feed line leading to the receiver is not shown; it attaches to the driven element at D. The antenna radiates radio waves in a beam toward the right.
A folded dipole is, technically, a folded full-wave loop antenna, where the loop has been bent at opposing ends and squashed into two parallel wires in a flat line. Although the broad bandwidth, high feedpoint impedance, and high efficiency are characteristics more similar to a full loop antenna, the folded dipole's radiation pattern is more ...

Corner reflector UHF TV antenna from 1954 with bowtie dipole driven element. A corner reflector antenna is a type of directional antenna used at VHF and UHF frequencies. [1] [2] It was invented by John D. Kraus in 1938. [3] [4] It consists of a dipole driven element mounted in front of two flat rectangular reflecting screens joined at an angle ...
Rigorous testing of the loop Yagi–Uda (quad) antenna show the following advantages over a dipole-based Yagi–Uda antenna made from dipoles: [10] Polarization It is easy to change polarization from vertical to horizontal, by changing the feed point. Multiband antenna It is easier to design a multiband quad antenna than a multiband Yagi antenna.
It is a two element Yagi-Uda antenna with folded dipole elements, and no director(s). Because of the folded ends, the element lengths are approximately 70% of the equivalent dipole length. The two-element design gives modest directivity (about 2.0 dB ) with a null towards the rear of the antenna, yielding a high front-to-back ratio : Gain up to ...
A turnstile antenna, or crossed-dipole antenna, [1] is a radio antenna consisting of a set of two identical dipole antennas mounted at right angles to each other and fed in phase quadrature; the two currents applied to the dipoles are 90° out of phase. [2] [3] The name reflects the notion the antenna looks like a turnstile when mounted ...
