  • Abstract
    Both gain and bandwidth of circular-loop Yagi arrays are investigated for various reflector and exciter sizes. It is shown that these array characteristics can be optimised by increasing the size of the reflector and the exciter. The required increases are found to be within about 20% of the director size.
