Abstract: The present invention is an improved Yagi-Uda style antenna. Primarily, the present invention provides that at least two driven elements are spaced approximately 0.1 .lambda. apart from each other. The driven elements are forced into a critical couple mode by electrically connecting the two driven elements with a matched phasing delay line. The phasing delay line retards the phase current sufficiently to, coupled with the specified element separation, satisfy both the endfire condition and the Hansen-Woodyard condition. This provides for increased directivity and gain, and deep nulls in the field strength. The at least two critically coupled elements compromise at least a first driven element, which is the primary broadcast element, and a second driven element, which is a driven reflector element. The reflector element acts to augment field strength in a direction toward the first driven element and reduce field strength in a direction away from the first driven element.
