UHF 4-Bay Fat Dipoles + Grid Reflector
UHF 4-Bay Fat Dipoles + Grid Reflector was modeled using 4nec2 file posted by kakar133 and then
modified for 3/4-Wavelenght Long Transmission Lines connected to a Common Simulated SOURCE.

UHF Raw Gain = 11.0 to 13.5 dBi, F/R & F/B Min = 17.5 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 2.0.

Gain was significantly lower than W-G PR4400 (see 4nec2 results) and Characteristic
Impedance was only 75-ohms, requiring the use of a 1:1 Balun, e.g. Un-Equal Length Coax Balun:
