I was reading about this Yagi Uda Antenna and I came across this--
"If the distance between driven and parasitic element is decreased the it will load the driven element, irrespective of its length. Thus input impedance at the input terminals of driven element reduces. This is why a folded dipole is invariably used as driven element so that reduction in input impedance is compensated i.e. raised."
Could you please explain me this paragraph completely(from the first sentence).
Thanks in advance.
