Abstract :
The possibility of multiple bands in electrically small, parasitic (Yagi) antenna arrays was explored. With a folded driver, and twisted, two-helical directors, where the maximum height of the elements is 0.096λ, two different bands were generated. The gain patterns at both bands are similar to that of two-element, conventional Yagi antenna.
