ResumoA 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.
