  • Title: Designing a Compact Filtering Quasi-Yagi Antenna with Multiple Radiation Nulls Using Embedded Resistor-Loaded Arms.
    Author: Zhai L, Guo Y, Xu Z, Zhang X, Chen Y, Shi J.
    Journal: Micromachines (Basel); 2023 Jul 19; 14(7):. PubMed ID: 37512756.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, a compact quasi-Yagi antenna with embedded resistor-loaded arms is proposed to obtain a filtering response with four radiation nulls. The embedded resistor-loaded arms achieve two additional radiation nulls caused by reverse currents and absorb the unwanted out-of-band resonant points brought by themselves. The director close to the driver provides a resonant point and a radiation null caused by opposite currents between the driver and the director. Compared with other filtering quasi-Yagi antennas, the proposed one can achieve a filtering response with a compact size along the endfire direction. For demonstration, a balun-integrated prototype covering the 5G band N78 (3.3-3.8 GHz) is designed with the size along the endfire direction (without ground) of 0.13 λ0 (λ0 is the wavelength in the free space at center frequency), and the measured results show a 10 dB impedance-matching bandwidth of 22.9% (3.21-4.04 GHz), four radiation nulls, and a peak gain of 4.73 dBi.
