Abstract
A two-element, planar Yagi antenna with closely spaced elements is reported. Multiple folding in the driver is used to boost up the low radiation resistance due to the close spacing between the driver and the director. The antenna dimensions are first optimized in wire form and then transferred into a printed version on PET film. A prototype planar monopole Yagi is built and measured at 1 GHz. The maximum realized gain of the antenna on 50-μm PET film is measured to be 9.56 dB.
