All AWG10 mclapp M4 4-Bay (9.5x9.0) with FLAT vs SWEPT Bowties and Double Angled Reflector analyzed to determine Optimum Forward Sweep (BowSwp=1.0-in), presuming the use of AWG10 for ALL elements and feedlines.
mclapp's M4 (9-5x9) Super-4-Bay Bowtie, with Angled Reflector, optimized for New UHF Band (Ch14-51): http://www.frontiernet.net/~mclapp/Antennas/diagrams.html http://www.frontiernet.net/~mclapp/Antennas/4baystuff/4%20bay%20angled%20reflector.pdf
Double Angled Screen Reflector, 16-Gauge, 40"Hx36"W, with outer 10-in bent forward, Grid = 1"H x 2"W. Separation of Reflector from Bowties=4.5-in (at centerline).
Gain and SWR are Good for entire New UHF Band, with only moderate reduction for Old Band (Ch52-69). Optimum Bow Sweep is about 1-in.
Hi-VHF Ch7-8 has moderate Net Gain loss due to increasing SWR, which becomes excessive on Ch9-13.
Although there is minimal Raw Gain on Ch6 and FM Band, SWR is extremely high.
