Abstract
A compact and uniplanar antenna with broadband characteristics is pres ented. The novel Yagi-like printed dipole array antenna is fed by a mi crostrip-to-coplanar strip transition, and uses the truncated microstr ip ground plane as its reflecting element. An X-band prototype measure s a bandwidth of 17% with 6.5dB gain, 18dB front-to-back ratio, and lo wer than -15dB crosspolarisation level at 10GHz.
