Yagi antenna: A combination of dipoles to increase the gain. [Antenna Manufacturers], [Antenna Dictionary].
YIG Tuned Oscillator: A YIG (yttrium iron garnet) sphere, when installed in the proper magnetic
environment with suitable coupling will behave like a tunable microwave cavity with Q on the order of 1,000 to 8,000. Since spectral purity is related to Q, the device has excellent AM and FM noise characteristics.
