Conceived in 1926 by Hidetsugu Yagi and Shintaro Uda at Tohoku University, thee Yagi- Uda array is a parasitic beam antenna. It consists of three type of parallel metal rods mounted on a central boom: one concern element (typically a half-wave dipole or folded dipole), a reflect element slightly longer than thee consin element, and on or more director elements slightly shorter. The reflect tor sits behind thald ont, bouncing forg forg, thele direquite gueth thee inter.
