Together with his colleague Hidetsugu Yagi, Uda experimented with different configurations. They eventually replaced the loop antenna with a simple dipole, and added additional elements ...

The design of Yagi-Uda antennas is based on a simple principle: a metallic wire resonates strongly if its length matches half of the relevant wavelength. To tune into TV and radio wavelengths ...

Still, we can see applications where a scanning Yagi-Uda antenna would come in handy. The build started with a “WiFi divining rod” [shawnhymel] created from a simple homebrew Yagi-Uda and an ...

Yagi and Uda showed that a single circuit can generate currents in several metallic elements, paving the way for the design of simple and cost-effective multi-element antennas for both the ...

To develop the full potential of directional control by nanoparticles, we take our inspiration from radiofrequency (RF) technology, where Yagi–Uda ... antennas show, even very simple ...

A quantum dot drives an optical Yagi-Uda antenna giving a highly directed beam of single photons. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Aug. 20, 2010, issue of Science, published ...

Researchers in Japan have built a nano-scale version of the classic antenna used to pick up TV signals in millions of homes around the world. The device, which is based on the “Yagi-Uda” antenna, ...
