Design of Yagi-Uda Antenna using Microstrip Circuit

Abstract

This paper gives the design of Yagi-Uda antenna using microstrip circuit. Microstip circuits are used to implement Yagi-Uda antenna so as to reduce the size but here we have shown only two optimization technique. This has been done by varying the length, width and spacing between reflector, driven element and directors. Simulations are conducted to show how return loss and other parameters vary by varying the above mentioned Yagi-Uda parameters. This antenna is operating very near to resonant frequency fr = 2.4 GHz with the specification relative permittivity ε r = 3.2, height of substrate h=1.6mm, characteristic impedance Z 0 = 50 ohm and thickness of strip conductor t=35um. In this paper, two most approximate results after all these perturbations are analyzed and simulations showing return loss and other parameters like directivity, gain and power radiated are discussed. The simulation process has been done using Advanced Design System (ADS) tool.

The influence of the patch antennas emissions on the human head

“…Because the antennas are made of conductive material, under the action of radio waves the IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1757-899X/1254/1/012018 2 movement of electrons in the conductor is determined and an electric current is created. Due to its variation, a variation of the electric field created by the current is determined, which causes a magnetic field [2, [8][9].…”

Design of a Yagi-Uda Antenna With Gain and Bandwidth Enhancement for Wi-Fi and Wi-Max Applications

“…In recent years, Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX technologies are playing a vital role in wireless communication because of their advantages like high speed data transfer and anytime, anywhere internet access. There are various patch antennas proposed in [1][2][3], for these applications. But, the problems with them are low gain and low power handling capacity.…”
