We investigated the orbital evolution of Quadrantid-like meteor streams situated in the vicinity of the 2/1 resonance with Jupiter. For the starting orbital elements we took the values of the orbital elements of the Quadrantid meteor stream except for the semi-major axis which was varied between a = 3.22 and a = 3.34 AU. We considered these meteor streams as a ring and we investigated the resonant effect on the dispersion of this ring over a period of 13 000 years. Only gravitational forces due to the Sun and due to Jupiter were taken into account.
