  Yagi antenna - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Yagi antenna   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Yagis are directional along the axis perpendicular to the dipole in the plane of the elements, from the reflector through the driven element and out the director(s); if you hold out your arms to form a dipole and have the reflector behind you, you would receive signals with maximum gain from in front of you.
Yagi antennas which include one or more director elements, which, by virtue of their being arranged at approximately a quarter-wavelength mutual spacing and being progressively slightly shorter than a half wavelength, direct signals of increasingly higher frequencies onto the active dipole.
Yagi published the first English-language article on the antenna in 1928 and it came to be associated with his name.

The Yagi Antenna is a directional antenna invented by Dr. Hidetsugu Yagi of Tohoku Imperial University and his assistant, Dr. Shintaro Uta.
Yagi stated that he and his colleagues had tested a system using a magnetron at 40 cm along with a wave projector antenna to achieve a range of about 1 km.
Yagi was born in 1886 in Osaka, Japan, and graduated in engineering from Tokyo Imperial University in 1909.

 From Longwire to Yagi
The Yagi, emblem of the classic beam, is a multielement directive array, basically designed from a dipole, the driven element, completed with a parasitic element called the reflector, and additional directors usually arranged in the horizontal plane.
The gain of a Yagi is thus directly depending on the length of elements and the number of directors.
Like all antennas, Yagis can be stacked either in broadside (side by side) or collinear (usually superposed) fashion to improve directivity and gain, and reduce as much as possible side lobes in which the energy is lost.

 IEEE History Center - Directive Short Wave Antenna, 1924
In these laboratories, beginning in 1924, Professor Hidetsugu Yagi and his assistant, Shintaro Uda, designed and constructed a sensitive and highly-directional antenna using closely-coupled parasitic elements.
The antenna system, utilizing a driven element with closely coupled parasitics (usually a reflector and one or more directors) for short-wave work, was first described by S. Uda, a professor at Tohuku University in Japan, in 1926, in the IEEJ (Japan).
A colleague, Professor H. Yagi, collaborated in the developmental work and published the more widely read English version in the June 1928 IRE Proceedings.

In the '30s, in Japan, Dr. Hidetsugu Yagi of Tohoku Imperial University and his assistant, Dr. Shintaro Uda developed a new design of antenna combining a simple structure with high performance.
