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 ...
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 ...
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.
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 Vivaldi antenna or Vivaldi aerial [1] or tapered slot antenna [2] is a co-planar broadband-antenna, which can be made from a solid piece of sheet metal, a printed circuit board, or from a dielectric plate metalized on one or both sides.
Showing that due to its reflection (b), the monopole antenna (a) has the same radiation pattern over perfect ground as a dipole in free space (c) with the same current but twice the voltage Vertical radiation patterns of three common length monopole mast radiator antennas over perfect ground. The distance of the line from the origin at a given ...
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.
