Abstract
A broadband balanced printed dipole antenna for WiMAX applications (2.5/3.6 GHz) is presented. An integrated via‐hole balun is used to feed the antenna and a Yagi‐like scheme is proposed to improve the gain. The design has been optimized by means of parametric FDTD simulations. The antenna was fabricated and measured, giving a bandwidth higher than 50% and a gain higher than 4 dBi. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
