چکیده

Abstract—This paper describes a wideband double-dipole Yagi-Uda antenna fed by a microstrip-slot coplanar stripline transition. The conventional dipole driver of a Yagi-Uda antenna is replaced by two parallel dipoles with different lengths to achieve multi-resonances, and a small, tapered ground plane is used to allow flexibility in the placement of a pair of reflectors for effective reflection of backradiated electromagnetic waves. The measured bandwidth of the antenna was 3.48–8.16GHz for a −10 dB reflection coefficient, with a flat gain of 7.4 ± 0.4 dBi. A two-element array of these antennas was also constructed, with a center-to-center spacing of 36 mm (0.72λo at 6 GHz) and a common reflector between the elements. The twoelement array had a measured bandwidth of 3.56–792 GHz, a gain of 8.40–10.43 dBi, a cross-polarization level of < −15 dB, and a mutual coupling of < −16 dB within the impedance-matching bandwidth.

A Novel Yagi-Uda Dipole Array Fed by A Microstrip-To-CPS Transition

We report the design and experiment of a novel Yagi-Uda dipole array fed by a MS-to-CPS transition. The Yagi-Uda array having one director on the same plane of the dielectric substrate as the driver element shows higher gain (9.1dB) than microstrip patch antennas and a much wider bandwidth (10.3%). The measured front-to-back ratio is about 15dB. This novel design should become an important alte...

Ultra-Wideband Fermi Antenna Using Microstrip-to-CPS Balun

A new design and experimental results of a microstripfed ultra-wideband Fermi antenna at millimeter-wave frequencies are presented. By utilizing a new microstrip-to-CPS balun (or transition), which provides wider bandwidth than conventional planar balun, the design of microstrip-fed Fermi antenna is greatly simplified. The proposed Fermi antenna demonstrates ultra-wideband performance for the f...

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 Capacitive Fed Microstrip Patch Antenna with Air Gap for Wideband Applications (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper a microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with capacitive feed is presented. capacitive feed is created by a slot within the rectangular patch around the feed point. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 47% (S11 < −10 dB). Effects of key design parameters such as the air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, the gap width between r...

Two λ/2 dipole array coplanar feed wideband PCB antenna

Microstrip patch antennas are intrinsically narrow bandwidth devices, i.e. less than 10 %. Special techniques are always applied in order to increase their bandwidths. These include complicated wideband balun impedance transformers and parasitic elements. Abdelaziz reported a 10 GHz dual-element microstrip patch antenna design which was printed on a 1.6 mm thick Duriod substrate [1]. The two el...
