Advanced Qualification · A-007 Feedlines and matching · A-007-003-008
A Yagi antenna uses a gamma match. The coaxial braid connects to:
- Athe variable capacitor
- Bthe adjustable gamma rod
- Cthe centre of the reflector
- Dthe centre of the driven element
Correct answer: D — the centre of the driven element. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
In a Yagi antenna with a gamma match, the coaxial cable's outer shield (braid) connects directly to the centre of the driven element, which is the part of the antenna that actually receives or sends the radio signal. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
