Simplified feed for modified printed Yagi antenna
نویسنده
چکیده
A modified printed Yagi antenna with a simplified feed mechanism is proposed. In the new design, the driver dipole is fed by a transmission line formed by two parallel strips printed on opposite sides of the dielectric substrate. This simplified feed structure results in the reduction of the transmission line length, and, consequently, the radiation losses. The analysis of the modified Yagi antenna is performed numerically using Ansoft high frequency structure simulator and is experimentally validated.

A Novel Design of Folded Dipole for Broadband Printed Yagi-Uda Antenna
In this paper, a printed wideband Yagi-Uda antenna with a novel folded dipole driver is proposed. The folded dipole driver is comprised of a folded dipole and a microstrip feedline which functions as an internal balun to mainly determine its wide impedance bandwidth. With the optimized parameters, an operating band of 1.69 GHz ∼ 2.72 GHz can be obtained. Besides the folded dipole driver, the br...

A broadband printed bow-tie antenna with a simplified balanced feeding network and modified tapering is presented. Microstrip and parallel-strip transmission lines printed on the substrate with high dielectric permittivity realize the proposed feeding network. The ground-plane transition between the microstrip line and the parallel-strip line is exponentially tapered so as to reduce the reflect...
