M4 (9.5x9) + Various FLAT Refl. Widths
M4(9.5x9) Various Flat (40-in H, 2"x4" Grid) Screen Reflector Widths and Reflector-Bowtie
Separations were analyzed using 4nec2 and Parametric Variation of these two Variables.

UHF Gain continues to increase as the Reflector Width Increases, HOWEVER, BEST Hi-VHF Gain
and F/R Ratio Performance requires 32-in Reflector Width.  At small Widths, Hi-VHF Gain
will be either more or less SAME toward Front and Rear.....or HIGHER towards the REAR on
Lower Channels.  Increasing HEIGHT of the Reflector continues to improve UHF Gain, but fairly
slowly after it extends beyond the Bowtie by a couple inches.

UHF Performance continues to increase as the Reflector Width increses, HOWEVER, BEST Hi-VHF
Gain and F/B Ratio Performance requires a 32-in Reflector Width.  At small Widths, Hi-VHF Gain
will be either more or less SAME toward Front and Rear.....or HIGHER towards the REAR on
Lower Channels.
