Abstract :
A new design of multiband quasi-Yagi type antenna for 700 MHz band, GSM900, DCS1800, GPS, and Bluetooth/WLAN applications is presented. In contrast to conventional quasi-Yagi antenna design, our proposed antenna realizes the multiband performance by interaction between the section extended ground and the derived driver element which is a branch of driver dipole element. The parametric studies of the proposed antenna are discussed to explore the antenna operating mechanism. The performances of the antenna are demonstrated along with measured and simulated results.
