Principle of communication

Draw and label the antenna assigned to you and explain your illustration in at least five (5) sentences. The
first letter of your last name will be the basis of which antenna to draw.

Yagi uda antennas were mostly observed on the roof of every house in past decades. The
parasitic components and dipoles collectively form a yagi uda antenna. Based on the illustration
above the antenna has more directors because placing more directors enhances the antenna’s
directionality. The feeder is considered a folded dipole and the reflector has more length which
is placed at the end of the antenna. Below picture shows the yagi uda antenna design diagram.
In the design of the Yagi antenna, the structure which is in the form of a center rod where the
components are placed is termed a boom. The active component is called a driven
component where a transmission line has an internal connection to it through a black stud. The
single material which is at the back end of the driven component is called a reflector where it
reflects the entire energy in the direction of the radiation pattern. And the other components
that are present before the driven component are called directors which reflect the beam in the
direction of the required angle.
