Hidetsugu Yagi (八木 秀次, Yagi Hidetsugu, January 28, 1886 – January 19, 1976) was a Japanese electrical engineer from Osaka, Japan. When working at Tohoku Imperial University , he wrote several articles that introduced a new antenna designed by his assistant Shintaro Uda to the English-speaking world.
A quad antenna is a type of directional wire radio antenna used on the HF and VHF bands. A quad is a Yagi–Uda antenna ("Yagi") made from loop elements instead of dipoles: It consists of a driven element and one or more parasitic elements; however in a quad, each of the loop elements may be square, round
Layout of Moxon antenna; radiates strongest towards the left. [a] The Moxon antenna design is rectangular, with slightly less than half of the rectangle being the driven element (radiator) and the other part (slightly more than half) being the reflector. It is a two element Yagi-Uda antenna with folded dipole elements, and no director(s).
Also called a Moxon rectangle; it is a rectangular-shaped, folded version of a two-element Yagi-Uda, hence a minimal parasitic array. [15] Quad Although "quad" can refer to a single quadrilateral-shaped loop, the term usually refers to two or more loops stacked side by side as a parasitic array; at first glance, quads resemble a box kite frame.
Antenna elements used in this way are known as passive radiators. A Yagi–Uda array uses passive elements to greatly increase gain in one direction (at the expense of other directions). A number of parallel approximately half-wave elements (of very specific lengths) are situated parallel to each other, at specific positions, along a boom; the ...
Multiple elements (a fed dipole, a director, and reflectors) were assembled in the 1920s to create narrow transmit and receive antenna patterns. The Yagi-Uda array, better known as the Yagi antenna, is still widely used. [2] Edmond Bruce and Harald T. Friis developed directional antennas for shortwave and microwave frequencies during the 1930s. [2]
A Yagi-Uda antenna. From left to right, the elements mounted on the boom are called the reflector, driven element, and director. The reflector is easily identified as being a bit longer (5% or more) than all the other elements, and the director(s) a bit shorter (5% or more).
