Demonstration of a X-band multilayer Yagi-like microstrip patch antenna with high directivity and large bandwidth

The feasibility of obtaining large bandwidth and high directivity from a multilayer Yagi-like microstrip patch antenna at 10 GHz is investigated. A measured 10-dB bandwidth of ~20% and directivity of ~11 dBi is demonstrated through the implementation of a vertically-stacked structure with three parasitic directors, above the driven patch, and a single reflector underneath the driven patch. Simulated and measured results are compared and show fairly close agreement. This antenna offers the advantages of large bandwidth, high directivity and symmetrical broadside patterns, and could be applicable to satellite as well as terrestrial communications
