It is less frequency sensitive than the Yagi antenna, which makes it promising for television reception.[1-6] Metallic parts, the feed fingers, that connect the zig-zag antenna to the inner conductor of the coaxial transmission line have been investigated.[7,8] This article provides an expression for the
directional gain for a zig-zag antenna in order to investigate the effect of the number of V-configured sections of the antenna on the gain.
