Abstract :
A compact, printable, parasitic array antenna operating at dual resonances is investigated. The antenna is composed of a driver and two directors. All elements are printed with copper strips on both sides of a substrate (Rogers Duroid 5880). Two directors with different lengths are twisted to generate dual resonances. In both generated bands, high gain (>; 8.0 dBi) and good front-to-back ratios (>; 8.4 dBi) are achieved.
