Abstract

A printed-circuit differential-fed Yagi-Uda antenna is presented that features enhanced bandwidth by employing a parasitic quarter-wavelength coplanar stripline (CPS) resonator which adds one more resonant mode within the operating bandwidth. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated and measured. Experimental results are in good agreement with simulations. In the band of 2.27-2.58 GHz, the return loss is better than 10 dB and the gain better than 6 dBi.
