Greetings Holger!   
      
    HG>> The exited elements are named radiators or driven elements.   
      
    RW>> Yes, in a yagi or dipole.   
      
    HG>> The reflector(s) and director(s) are parasitic elements.   
      
    RW>> No, they're mirrors and orchestra leaders. I think of your version   
    RW>> of reflectors as RF image deflectors and your directors as RF   
    RW>> guidence   
      
    HG> You do have the right to your own opinion and nomenclature.   
      
   You have to admit that the definition of 'reflector' and 'director' are   
   more suited for general discussion of other things, not antenna oriented.   
      
   i.e. if you want to discuss antennas, then the use of 'RF Reflector' and   
   'RF director' would be more suited for antenna discussion. In this media,   
   saying what you mean is more important than ever.   
      
      
       Have a day!
