Design of a wideband quasi‐Yagi antenna with filtering response

Abstract This letter presents a wideband quasi‐Yagi antenna with high selective filtering responses and good radiation performance. The proposed antenna is formed by a microstrip‐slotline‐microstrip transition structure as the filtering network, a driver dipole, and a parasitic strip element. Attrib...
