“…A Yagi-Uda antenna using split-ring resonators (SRRs) has been studied in [25]. The lateral dimension of SRR is only a quarter wavelength at its second resonance frequency, while its radiation characteristics are similar to a half-wavelength dipole [33].…”

“…The first design is named array 1, and the SRR element used is shown in Fig. 2, where the average radius r is calculated by r = λ 0 /11 (λ 0 is the working wavelength in free space) so that its radiation resistance is close to 50 Ω [25]. Thus the radius is determined to be 5.2 mm when the working frequency is 5.5 GHz.…”

“…Many other low profile Yagi-Uda antennas have also been investigated [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Among them, a planar Yagi-Uda antenna was proposed by using a split-ring resonator (SRR) as the radiating element [25]. It consists of 15 elements and has an end-fire gain of 11.3 dBi at 5.5 GHz, and the width is only a quarter wavelength at its center frequency.…”

“…Through the control of amplitude and phase distribution of driven elements, the size of the classical Yagi-Uda array can be significantly reduced. Compared with a similar design in [25], the longitudinal dimension of arrays is reduced by 46% while maintaining the same lateral dimension and end-fire gain. It is also demonstrated that the end-fire gain and FBR can be further improved by increasing the number of directors when the number of driven elements is kept the same.…”

In this paper, we present a novel design for an end-fire antenna, which generalizes the concept of conventional Yagi-Uda antenna by introducing multiple driven elements. Through using the method of maximum power transmission efficiency, the optimal distribution of excitations for the multiple driven elements can be obtained, and the end-fire gain of the array can be significantly improved in comparison with the conventional Yagi-Uda antenna with a single driven element. In order to demonstrate the new idea, two different types of antenna arrays are designed and fabricated. The first design uses a split-ring resonator (SRR) as radiating element. Compared to similar planar Yagi-Uda SRR antenna arrays previously reported, the number of antenna elements can be reduced from fifteen to eight, and the longitudinal dimension is significantly reduced by 46% while the same performances are maintained with the gain reaching 11.7 dBi at 5.5 GHz. In the second design, printed half-wavelength dipoles are used as the antenna elements. It is shown that an eight-element dipole array with four driven elements has a peak gain of 13.4 dBi at 2.45 GHz, which is 1.8 dB higher than the conventional printed Yagi-Uda dipole antenna array with the same number of elements.

An ultra-wideband multilayer-stacked Yagi antenna is presented in this article. The proposed design is based on a capped bow-tie antenna, on which a Yagi antenna is formed simply by capping several pieces of parasitic patches with equal lengths but unequal widths. Thus, the multilayerstacked antenna attains a small footprint, compact size, customizable gain, and simple geometry, which make it promising for various applications. The prototype of this antenna is simulated, fabricated, and measured. Good agreement between simulation and measurement has been observed.

A magnetic dipole quasi-Yagi antenna based on a dielectric resonator (DR) is proposed in this letter. The dominate TE1δ1 mode of the rectangular DR is used as a magnetic dipole which can be differentially fed by the coplanar strip line (CPS). Thanks to the DR employment, the proposed antenna has several advantages such as compact size and flexible design which means the 3-D dimensions of the DR can be easily adjusted to cater for various applications. Meanwhile, the gain of the proposed DR quasi-Yagi antenna is higher than that of traditional electric dipole counterparts. Furthermore, since the DR driver is horizontally polarized, both the metal strip and DR can be used as a director for enhancing the end-fire gain. To verify the design concept, a prototype operating at the X-band is fabricated and measured. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results can be observed.
