摘要
A low-cost and highly efficient printed Yagi antenna structure with high radiation efficiency is presented. The proposed prototype consists of two stacked planar layers. The first layer electromagnetically couples energy to the printed Yagi array parasitic elements located on the second layer. A reduced-size 60-GHz prototype (1.0687 x 0.8015 cm(2)) is designed to operate over the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. The measured impedance bandwidth is more than 5 GHz with a gain of 10 dB measured at 60 GHz. With these features, this antenna achieves a low profile that makes it suitable for millimeter-wave monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) packaging as well as for short-range wireless communications and imaging applications.
