This paper discusses the Yagi-Uda antenna and its properties. This kind of antenna array uses several metal rods, with one rod connected to the transmission line, while the others act as a reflector and directors. The setup provides more gain and better directivity. To demonstrate the Yag-Uda’s capabilities, an actual antenna array was constructed. The lengths of each element were calculated given a specific frequency. The antenna array was able to receive 9 channels with varying degrees of clarity, but the image and sounds can still be understood. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
