ABSTRACT A compact wideband planar microstrip‐fed quasi‐Yagi antenna is presented. Through optimizing the structure of C‐shape reflector, a broadband impedance bandwidth 75.3% (1.83 ∼ 4.04 GHz) for return loss less than −10 dB and gain 3.83 8.48 dBi are obtained. Simulation based on HFSS measurement results provided discussed. The agreements between simulation indicate that suitable wireless communication applications phased arrays. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 56:241–244,
