Abstract
In this work, we propose a hybrid material-based Yagi-Uda antenna with dual-band response. The proposed antenna consists of three-driven elements made up of copper, lead and silicon material placed according to the decreasing order of conductivity. Its dipole is excited using the microstrip feedline connected through a PEC vias. The antenna operates at 15.5 and 16.1 GHz resonant frequencies having 1.03% and 2.05% of −10 dB impedance bandwidth for the lower and upper bands, respectively. The dipole of the antenna excites higher order \({\text{TM}}_{16}\) and \({\text{TM}}_{26}\) modes at the resonant frequencies of the passbands. The antenna structure provides peak gain of 9.52 dBi and 8.1 dBi at lower and upper bands, respectively. The proposed antenna may find potential utilization in Ku-band applications.
