M4 (9.5x9.0) Super-4-Bay Bowtie (all AWG10) with 40-in H x 34-in W FLAT Screen Grid (1x2-in) at Various Reflector-To-Bowtie Separations analyzed using 4nec2. [In previous analysis, 40x34-in Reflector was found to be the "Best" size.]
"Best" UHF Performance is at Separation = 5.0-in, with acceptable SWR Under 2.7 [Max Criteria for low Mis-Match and EVM Loss] with F/B & F/R Ratios over 20 dB.
UHF Raw Gain = 13.3 to 14.9 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio Min = 19.8 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 2.7. Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 8.7 to 8.9 dBi, F/B & F/R = 10 to 16 dB and SWR (300-ohms) = 4.1 to 14.1.
