The G4ZU Bird Yagi - AntenTOP
WEBThe G4ZU Bird Yagi. L. B. Cebik, W4RNL. In the ARRL Antenna Compendium, Volume 2 (pp. 58-60), Dick Bird, G4ZU, presented an interesting variant on the 3-element Yagi. He claimed pretty good numbers for gain and front-to-back ratio, although the frame of reference remained somewhat a mystery.

WEBOn Ham bands we call it the Spider beam or G4ZU. What ever the name is its principle remains the same. It is a full-size 3 elements Yagi with the Director and Reflector bend towards the radiating element.
The Forgotten FB5 Ham Radio Antenna: A Compact Multi-Band …
WEBAccording to G4ZU, the antenna is naturally resonant on the 20-meter band, with the ferrite beads having minimal loading effect at this frequency. This allows the antenna to resonate effectively on 20 meters without the need for a matching network.
The Daily Antenna: G4ZU's 'Jungle Job' antenna - Blogger
WEBDec 16, 2019 · G4ZU's 'Jungle Job' antenna. This is an antenna I'd like to experiment with but haven't got around to it. It's basically a two element beam. The reflector is straight while the drive element is V-shaped. This is potentially a handy way of getting a bit of gain on bands like 10 and 15 metres.
WEBThis article presents a construcfianal variation of the well known G4ZU "Birdcage" which was also developed by G4ZU and originally described in the RSGB Bulletin.
The Birdcage Antenna
WEBThe folded X-beam derives its existence from the G4ZU Birdcage antenna. W2EEY viewed the X-beam as half a Birdcage. (1) Although this is historical fact, the logic of antennas goes the other way round: the Birdcage is a double folded X-beam.

WEBThe Spiderbeam® yagi is a trapless multiband yagi constructed of 3 interlaced monobanders, making it a highly efficient antenna with simple construction. The driven element is a directly fed multiband dipole, again contributing to a simple, broadband and low-loss construction.
Ham Radio Site - Wire Beam Types - DJ0IP
WEBThe Bird Cage Antenna was designed by Dick Bird, G4ZU (SK). It is basically a folded X-Beam, and very compact. This was the very first wire beam that I ever built. I got mine to work, at least a little bit, but I could not keep it working. The material I used was too flemsy and it kept collapsing.
