The 4 elements on the V shaped boom (left) are called a "corner reflector"; they serve to reflect the signal back toward the driven element. Yagi HDTV antennas use a corner reflector to increase the bandwidth of the antenna. The rest of the antenna increases the gain at higher channels, while the corner reflector increases the gain at lower channels.
