Question B-006-009-001

What is a parasitic beam antenna?

Correct Answer

An antenna where some elements obtain their radio energy by induction or radiation from a driven element

Explanation

In a Yagi or quad antenna, only one element (the driven element) is directly fed. The other elements (reflector, directors) are excited by the radiated field from the driven element and re-radiate energy to create a directional pattern.
