The Planar V-dipole Antenna Fed by Marchand Balun

摘要

The Marchand balun for microwave band as a feeding network structure that efectively excited tapered V-dipole antenna geometry is proposed. The microstrip line to coplanar strip line transition then to fed tapered V-dipole antenna. The designed quasi-tapered TEM horn (V-dipole) antenna has the merits such as wideband, simple feeding network, low profile compact size with fairly good antenna performances such as return loss, peak gain and radiation patterns.
