UHF SBGH + 2ea 36"x18" Split Screen Grid Reflectors analyzed using 4nec2, including Parametric Analysis of Reflector-to-SBGH Separation distance (RS).
SBGH same as in nikiml's GH10 [10 RR pairs] to facilitate comparison to large Screen Grid Reflector.
UHF Raw Gain = 13.4 to 16.1 to 14.4 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio Min. = 17.1 dB and SWR (300-ohms) Under 2.7. UHF SWR is Under 2.7 for RS = 3.5 to 7.5-inches...and Best at RS = 5.5-inches.
Hi-VHF Raw Gain TO REAR = 5.6 to 7.2 to 6.8 dBi with F/B & F/R Ratio Min. = 14.9 dB and Very High SWR. However LOW Forward Hi-VHF Gain [Wider Reflector "should" re-orient beam FORWARD.]
FWIW: Note that Hi-VHF Gain is Best for RS ~ 12-inches....which unfortunately also degrades UHF Gain & SWR.
Compared to nikiml's GH10, Gain was about the same, except at 470 MHz it dropped about 1 dB, but F/B & F/R Ratio Min. increased by over 10 dB: http://clients.teksavvy.com/~nickm/gh_u/gh10_15u15.html
