UHF Horizontally Stacked Hourglass-Loops with 15 Reflector Rods analyzed using 4nec2 where nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts were used to Optimize dimensions of the HHH (Hollands Horizontal Harness) and Separation between Hourglass-Loops. Alternatively, Sidelobes would be minimized with minimum Separation.
Stacking Distance & dimensions of HHH wires determined using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts: HD = 29.0-in = Horizontal Stacking Distance (Center-To-Center). HD/2 = 14.5-in, Length of Harness wires from Feedpoint to Center of each Hourglass-Loop was per above Model: Diagonal = 4.0-in, Length from Harness Wires to each Hourglass-Loop Feedpoint. Hw = 1.875-in, Separation between Harness Wires. Xh = -4.25 = X-Axis Separation between Harness Wires and Hourglass-Loops. TOTAL HARNESS WIRE LENGTH (2 required) = 25-in = 2x8.0+2x4.0+2x0.5 (for eyelet)
UHF Raw Gain = 12.6 +/- 0.1 dBi is VERY FLAT, F/B & F/R Ratio Min = 16.5 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 2.7.
