Abstract A microstrip‐fed printed bow‐tie antenna is presented in order to achieve wide bandwidth, high gain, and size reduction. comparison between the quasi‐Yagi (dipole director) antennas shows that has a wider higher lower front‐to‐back ratio, cross‐polarization level, smaller size. Two‐element arrays are designed their characteristics compared. The yields coupling for same distance elements. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
