What do you mean by driven elements in Yagi array?
In a multielement antenna array (such as a Yagi-Uda antenna), the driven element or active element is the element in the antenna (typically a metal rod) which is electrically connected to the receiver or transmitter. The driven element is often a dipole.
Which is the feeder element of a Yagi-Uda antenna?
folded dipole
The feeder is the folded dipole. The reflector is the lengthy element, which is at the end of the structure. The figure depicts a clear form of the Yagi-Uda antenna. The center rod like structure on which the elements are mounted is called as boom….Designing.

What language is Yagi?
Named after two Japanese engineers Shintaro Uda and Hidetsugu Yagi.
Can a Yagi antenna have a parasitic element?
In addition to the driven element, a Yagi antenna may have a reflector only, or a reflector plus one or more director elements. A parasitic element will be electrically energized by the RF radiation of the driven element during transmissions, and it will re-radiate RF due to this energizing.
How does the Yagi directional antenna produce gain?
The Yagi directional antenna produces gain in its main lobe by careful positioning of parasitic elements. A parasitic element is an antenna element that is not directly energized by the transmitter via a feedline.
How long is a half wave dipole in Yagi?
Of course, as the name indicates, a half-wave dipole is about one-half wavelength long. The answer to General Class question G9C02, “What is the approximate length of the driven element of a Yagi antenna?” is “ B. ½ wavelength.” Related Questions: G9C03, G9C04, G9C07, G9C08, G9C09, G9C10
How do you make a new d.e.in a Yagi?
If damaged, a ‘new’ D.E. can be made simply by re-cutting & inverting the same feedine (until the feedline gets too short to be practical, at least).
