Ch14-19 21-Element Folded Dipole Yagi with 20 Reflector Rod Corner Reflector analyzed using 4nec2. Dimensions were determined (incl. Corner Angle and Length of Yagi Reflector in the Apex) using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts.
Dimensions are found in the 4nec2 File: Boom Length = 97-inches. Corner Reflector Width=37.06-in, Corner Angle (to X-Axis)=49.54-deg and Xsep=2.83-in (projection onto X-Axis of Reflector Rod-Rod Separation).
Ch14-19 Raw Gain = 16.1 to 16.2 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio Min = 30.5 dB and SWR (300-ohms) Under 1.7.
A Parameter Sweep was conducted to determine Optimum value for S0, the location of the Yagi Reflector (and hence the entire Yagi) relative to the Corner's Apex, finding little difference for S0 = 0.0 to 1.0, so position of Yagi relative to Corner is indeed Optimum.
