These elaborate designs create electrical breaks along each element (both sides) at which point a parallel <a href="/wiki/LC_circuit" title="LC circuit">LC</a> (<a href="/wiki/Inductor" title="Inductor">inductor</a> and <a href="/wiki/Capacitor" title="Capacitor">capacitor</a>) circuit is inserted. This so-called <i>trap</i> has the effect of truncating the element at the higher frequency band, making it approximately a half wavelength in length. At the lower frequency, the entire element (including the remaining inductance due to the trap) is close to half-wave resonance, implementing a <i>different</i> Yagi–Uda antenna. Using a second set of traps, a "triband" antenna can be resonant at three different bands. Given the associated costs of erecting an antenna and <a href="/wiki/Antenna_rotator" title="Antenna rotator">rotator</a> system above a tower, the combination of antennas for three amateur bands in one unit is a practical solution. The use of traps is not without disadvantages, however, as they reduce the bandwidth of the antenna on the individual bands and reduce the antenna's electrical efficiency and subject the antenna to additional mechanical considerations (wind loading, water and insect ingress). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Theory_of_operation">Theory of operation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yagi%E2%80%93Uda_antenna&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Theory of operation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Two_meter_yagi.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/Two_meter_yagi.jpg/260px-Two_meter_yagi.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/42/Two_meter_yagi.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="200" /></a><figcaption>A portable Yagi–Uda antenna for use at 144 MHz (2 m), with segments of yellow tape-measure ribbon for the arms of the driven and parasitic elements.</figcaption></figure> <p>Consider a Yagi–Uda consisting of a reflector, driven element, and a single director as shown here. The driven element is typically a <a href="/wiki/Dipole_antenna#Half-wave_antenna" title="Dipole antenna"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac"><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span><i>λ</i> dipole</a> or <a href="/wiki/Folded_dipole" class="mw-redirect" title="Folded dipole">folded dipole</a> and is the only member of the structure that is directly excited (electrically connected to the <a href="/wiki/Feedline" class="mw-redirect" title="Feedline">feedline</a>). All the other elements are considered <i>parasitic</i>. That is, they reradiate power which they receive from the driven element. They also interact with each other, but this mutual coupling is neglected in the following simplified explanation, which applies to <a href="/wiki/Near_and_far_field" title="Near and far field">far-field</a> conditions. </p><p>One way of thinking about the operation of such an antenna is to consider a parasitic element to be a normal dipole element of finite diameter fed at its centre, with a short circuit across its feed point. The principal part of the current in a loaded receiving antenna is distributed as in a center-driven antenna. It is proportional to the effective length of the antenna and is in <a href="/wiki/Phase_(waves)" title="Phase (waves)">phase</a> with the incident electric field if the passive dipole is excited exactly at its resonance frequency.<sup id="cite_ref-King_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-King-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Now we imagine the current as the source of a <a href="/wiki/Power_wave" class="mw-redirect" title="Power wave">power wave</a> at the (short-circuited) port of the antenna. As is well known in <a href="/wiki/Transmission_line" title="Transmission line">transmission line</a> theory, a short circuit reflects the incident voltage 180 degrees out of phase. So one could as well model the operation of the parasitic element as the superposition of a dipole element receiving power and sending it down a transmission line to a matched load, and a transmitter sending the same amount of power up the transmission line back toward the antenna element. If the transmitted voltage wave were 180 degrees out of phase with the received wave at that point, the superposition of the two voltage waves would give zero voltage, equivalent to shorting out the dipole at the feedpoint (making it a solid element, as it is). However, the current of the backward wave is in phase with the current of the incident wave. This current drives the reradiation of the (passive) dipole element. At some distance, the reradiated electric field is described by the far-field component of the radiation field of a <a href="/wiki/Dipole_Antenna#Dipole_variations" class="mw-redirect" title="Dipole Antenna">dipole antenna</a>. Its phase includes the propagation delay (relating to the current) and an additional 90 degrees lagging phase offset. Thus, the reradiated field may be thought as having a 90 degrees lagging phase with respect to the incident field. </p><p>Parasitic elements involved in Yagi–Uda antennas are not exactly resonant but are somewhat shorter (or longer) than <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac"><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span><i>λ</i> so that the phase of the element's current is modified with respect to its excitation from the driven element.

The phase delay is thus larger than 90 degrees and, if the reflector element is made sufficiently long, the phase delay may be imagined to approach 180 degrees, so that the incident wave and the wave reemitted by the reflector <a href="/wiki/Wave_interference" title="Wave interference">interfere</a> destructively in the forward direction (i.e. looking from the driven element towards the passive element). The <i>director</i> element, on the other hand, being shorter than <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac"><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span><i>λ</i>, has a capacitive reactance with the voltage phase lagging that of the current.<sup id="cite_ref-Kraus_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kraus-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The phase delay is thus smaller than 90 degrees and, if the director element is made sufficiently short, the phase delay may be imagined to approach zero and the incident wave and the wave reemitted by the reflector interfere constructively in the forward direction. </p><p>Interference also occurs in the backward direction. This interference is influenced by the distance between the driven and the passive element, because the propagation delays of the incident wave (from the driven element to the passive element) and of the reradiated wave (from the passive element back to the driven element) have to be taken into account. To illustrate the effect, we assume zero and 180 degrees phase delay for the reemission of director and reflector, respectively, and assume a distance of a quarter wavelength between the driven and the passive element. Under these conditions the wave reemitted by the director interferes destructively with the wave emitted by the driven element in the backward direction (away from the passive element), and the wave reemitted by the reflector interferes constructively. </p><p>In reality, the phase delay of passive dipole elements does not reach the extreme values of zero and 180 degrees. Thus, the elements are given the correct lengths and spacings so that the radio waves radiated by the driven element and those re-radiated by the parasitic elements all arrive at the front of the antenna in-phase, so they superpose and add, increasing signal strength in the forward direction. In other words, the crest of the forward wave from the reflector element reaches the driven element just as the crest of the wave is emitted from that element. These waves reach the first director element just as the crest of the wave is emitted from that element, and so on. The waves in the reverse direction <a href="/wiki/Destructive_interference" class="mw-redirect" title="Destructive interference">interfere destructively</a>, cancelling out, so the signal strength radiated in the reverse direction is small. Thus the antenna radiates a unidirectional beam of radio waves from the front (director end) of the antenna. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Analysis">Analysis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yagi%E2%80%93Uda_antenna&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Analysis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>While the above qualitative explanation is useful for understanding how parasitic elements can enhance the driven elements' radiation in one direction at the expense of the other, the assumption of an additional 90 degrees (leading or lagging) phase shift of the reemitted wave is not valid. Typically, the phase shift in the passive element is much smaller. Moreover, to increase the effect of the passive radiators, they should be placed close to the driven element, so that they can collect and reemit a significant part of the primary radiation. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 365px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 360px; height: 330px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Yagi_antenna_animation_16_frame_1.6s.gif" class="mw-file-description" title="How the antenna works.

The wave generated by the driven element (green) propagates in both the forward and reverse directions (as well as other directions, not shown). The director receives that wave slightly delayed in time (amounting to a phase delay of about 45° which will be important for the reverse direction calculations later). Due to the director's shorter length, the current generated in the director is advanced in phase (by about 20°) with respect to the incident field and emits an electromagnetic field, which lags (under far-field conditions) this current by 90°. The net effect is a wave emitted by the director (blue) which is about 70° (20° - 90°) retarded with respect to that from the driven element (green), in this particular design. These waves combine to produce the net forward wave (bottom, right) with an amplitude somewhat larger than the individual waves. </p><p>In the reverse direction, on the other hand, the additional delay of the wave from the director (blue) due to the spacing between the two elements (about 45° of phase delay traversed twice) causes it to be about 160° (70° + 2 × 45°) out of phase with the wave from the driven element (green). The net effect of these two waves, when added (bottom, left), is partial cancellation. The combination of the director's position and shorter length has thus obtained a unidirectional rather than the bidirectional response of the driven (half-wave dipole) element alone. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Mutual_impedance"></span> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Zij-en.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Zij-en.png/220px-Zij-en.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="214" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Zij-en.png/330px-Zij-en.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Zij-en.png 2x" data-file-width="366" data-file-height="356" /></a><figcaption>Mutual impedance between parallel <span class="mwe-math-element"><span class="mwe-math-mathml-inline mwe-math-mathml-a11y" style="display: none;"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\lambda \over 2}}"> <semantics> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0"> <mstyle displaystyle="false" scriptlevel="1"> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mfrac> <mi>λ</mi> <mn>2</mn> </mfrac> </mrow> </mstyle> </mstyle> </mrow> <annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\lambda \over 2}}</annotation> </semantics> </math></span><img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/03c647f1023cef947013ed7d52f65251b67e9c6c" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-inline mw-invert skin-invert" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -1.171ex; width:1.614ex; height:3.176ex;" alt="{\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\lambda \over 2}}"></span> dipoles not staggered as a function of spacing.
