A Printed LPDA Antenna Fed by a Microstrip Line to Double Sided Parallel Strip Line from Backside

A novel planar printed log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) antenna fed by tapered microstrip line (MSL) to double sided parallel strip line (DSPSL) is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna adopts MSL feeding approach from backside. Using this feeding technique makes the printed LPDA antenna easi...

The measured results are in very good agreement with simulations.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2017/6259682
