[ (234) divided by (station frequency in MHz) ] feet, hanging vertically.
The most efficient absorption by a thin antenna happens when its length is one half of the wavelength being absorbed.
how to measure the length of elements and spacing of elements
Antenna gain of base station for a specific user depends on antenna pattern, antenna orientation (azimuth and tilt) and user's coordinates with respect to base station.
A yagi is a directional antenna consisting of two or more dipoles.
the inventor of the antenna was Alexander popov
The impedance of a transmission line (Zo) should be matched from the source of the RF into the antenna. A bad match results in loss of output power and RF reflections up & down the transmission line. Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) meters are available to measure these reflections and enable them to be tuned out. Adjustment of antenna length for best SWR (1:1) is common. More mathmatical approaches are available on the web.
The size of the dish isn't as important as the length of the antenna. The antenna is INSIDE the little can at the focus of the dish. The length of the antenna is tuned to the wavelength of the frequency being received.
The principle of the lens antenna is THE EQUALITY OF THE PATH LENGTH.
Modern digital cordless phones use high frequencies - the length of the antenna is so short at these frequencies that its whole length can be incorporated inside the casing of the phone. The length of the antenna is 300 divided by the frequency.

A short antenna causes higher than normal current to capacitive reactance and a long antenna causes higher than normal current to inductive reactance; a correct length antenna is free of reactance and appears as a resistance. Change the length of the antenna in small increments until you obtain the lowest (resistive) current.
You can extend an antenna wire, but the added length will reduce amplitude of received signal. You may need an in-line amplifier depending on the application and length of antenna wire.

A thin antenna has nothing to do with the physical size of the antenna. Any antenna whose length is less than (1/10) of the wavelength of the signal is thin antenna. A linear antenna is one in which the current distribution is linear or bears a linear relationship with some parameter, say voltage of the antenna...... Mukesh

94 feet is the "optimum length" cited at nba.com.
For every frequency there is an antenna that is perfect for radiating at that frequency. Unfortunately, it would be unrealistic to carry a separate antenna for every frequency that a communications center is capable of radiating. To overcome this problem, we use ANTENNA TUNING to lengthen and shorten antennas ELECTRICALLY to better match the frequency on which we want to transmit. Simply put, the antenna does not physically change length; instead, it is adapted electrically to the output frequency of the transmitter and "appears" to change its physical length. Antenna tuning is done by using antenna couplers.
A good material for an antenna is copper wire. For perfect reception, the antenna should be cut to a length determined by the frequency you want to receive. length = 468/frequency in megahertz.
