High gain microstrip yagi antenna for millimeter waves

摘要

In this paper a printed microstrip Yagi antenna is proposed for Millimeter or 5G applications. The resonant frequency of antenna is 60 GHz. The design has single wide band of 4.44 GHz. The proposed antenna shows good impedance matching throughout the band with minimum return loss -27.62 dB at 57.25 GHz. The antenna is low profile, low cost and light in weight. The overall dimensions of the antenna is 8.016 × 8 mm^{2. The antenna has the maximum gain of 10.2 dB. The radiation mechanism of Yagi antenna with its radiation characteristic are discussed. It can be a prospective candidate for future 5G applications. The antenna can be utilized for short distance communication like Device-to-Device (D-2-D). WLAN, WPAN and WHDMI.}
