Abstract
THE second discussion evening of the current session of the Wireless Section of the Institution of Electrical Engineers was held on January 18, when Mr. J. A. Smale introduced the subject of "Comparative Merits of Different Types of Directive Aerials for Communications". At the outset, it was made clear that the main objects of using directive aerials are to increase the field strength of the signal at the receiving station without increasing the power radiated by the transmitter, and to improve the ratio of signal to noise and interference at the receiving site; another desirable aim is to minimize interference with other users of the ether.
