Planar antenna modeling requires a constrained solution space and open boundaries and so is highly computationally intensive. One of the methods used to overcome this is by using method of moments simulation. The method of moments is a highly efficient method of solving wire antenna structures and is commonly used in antenna optimization. A method of transforming a wire antenna structure to a planar antenna structure is presented using a 4-element Yagi-Uda antenna designed to resonate at 905 MHz. The wire to planar transformation is based on the circular cross section wire to planar strip, a spacing adjustment based on interelement capacitance, and a length scaling to compensate for the change in effective permittivity. The planar antenna shows slightly improved impedance performance at the resonance [voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) 5 1.39]. This transformation decreased the antenna footprint by 15.11% after conversion for a wire antenna to a planar antenna in air with similar radiation characteristics and on FR4 (1.6 mm thickness), the footprint increased by 52%. The antenna simulation time was reduced from 15 min using finite element method to less than 10 s for one cycle by using the method of moments solver. All antenna properties are essentially unchanged.

“…Therefore, the novel printed Yagi antenna possesses broadband and high-gain. Especially, the improvement of gain has little influences the bandwidth, which is remarkably different from the design of Un-YPA proposed in [12]. In addition, raising gain dose not depend on increasing the director's number, and less metal is used to manufacture the proposed antenna, which is significant to antenna stealth characteristics.…”

Abstract-A high-gain and broadband printed Yagi-Uda antenna is proposed. The microstripline-to-balance microstripline technique is adopted in the feeding mode of the active dipole, which can help to realize the balanced-unbalanced transformation. The ground of the microstrip feeding line can function as a reflector, and both the longer reflector and the shorter director can also help the antenna achieve wideband. By altering the area of the substrate, the antenna gain can be effectively improved. A printed Yagi-Uda antenna operating at 3.5 GHz has been designed and manufactured. Both the simulated and measured results indicate that there is a high positive correlation between antenna gain and the substrate area extended from the front of the director, and antenna broadband characteristic would not be changed at the same time. Moreover, the impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna can achieve 27.4%, and the maximum gain in the operating band can reach 10.6 dBi.

The design of a new broadband quasi Yagi-Uda antenna is presented. The antenna is composed of an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG)-truncated ground plane and a feeding network formed by a Marchand balun and a coupling network. The quasi Yagi-antenna was designed to work at a central frequency of 3.5 GHz using a 30-mil FR4 substrate. The simulated and measured results show a relative bandwidth better than 53%, a cross polarization lower than 19 dB in the main lobe, and a front-toback ratio better than 12 dB in the entire bandwidth.Index Terms-Broadband antennas, electromagnetic band-gap (EBG), planar antennas, quasi Yagi-Uda antenna.
