What are some advantages of a Yagi with wide element spacing?
  • Correct Answer
    High gain, less critical tuning and wider bandwidth
  • High gain, lower loss and a low SWR
  • High front-to-back ratio and lower input resistance
  • Shorter boom length, lower weight and wind resistance

Why is a Yagi antenna often used for radiocommunications on the 20-metre band?
  • It provides excellent omnidirectional coverage in the horizontal plane
  • It is smaller, less expensive and easier to erect than a dipole or vertical antenna
  • It provides the highest possible angle of radiation for the HF bands
  • Correct Answer
    It helps reduce interference from other stations off to the side or behind

What does "antenna front-to- back ratio" mean in reference to a Yagi antenna?
  • The relative position of the driven element with respect to the reflectors and directors
  • Correct Answer
    The power radiated in the major radiation lobe compared to the power radiated in exactly the opposite direction
  • The power radiated in the major radiation lobe compared to the power radiated 90 degrees away from that direction
  • The number of directors versus the number of reflectors

What is a good way to get maximum performance from a Yagi antenna?
  • Correct Answer
    Optimize the lengths and spacing of the elements
  • Use RG-58 feed line
  • Use a reactance bridge to measure the antenna performance from each direction around the antenna
  • Avoid using towers higher than 9 metres (30 feet) above the ground
