If a parasitic element slightly shorter than a horizontal dipole antenna is placed parallel to the dipole 0.1 wavelength from it and at the same height, what effect will this have on the antenna's radiation pattern?
A major lobe will develop in the horizontal plane, from the dipole toward the parasitic element
A slightly shorter element placed in front acts as a director, reinforcing the signal in the forward direction (towards the director).
