Default converting from dipole/inverted vee to beam


"Buck" wrote in message
...
I have a wire dipole and an inverted Vee each cut to resonance on a
desired frequency. I would like to add a reflector and/or a director
(one at the time) to make each one a beam. Will adding the reflector
and/or director change the resonant frequency, or just the impedance?

Thanks

Hi Buck

Isnt Resonance defined as the frequency where the Impedance has *no*
reactance? Wouldnt that imply that the resonant frequency of the antenna
will always change if its impedance changes?
Can you *ever* change one without changing the other?
