Design of Yagi Antenna with Slow-Wave Half-Mode SIW Feeding Technique for Ku Band Applications

A novel planar Yagi antenna printed on a microwave substrate with dielectric constant of 3.55 for Ku band applications has been presented in this paper. The proposed antenna has been fed by the slow-wave half-mode substrate-integrated waveguide and has achieved good characteristics, such as reduced...
