Abstract

Microstrip antenna is considered to be among the selected antenna to be developed due to its simplicity in design and low cost. Nevertheless, the microstrip antenna implemented with the Yagi-Uda design are not much developed especially for wideband application. Furthermore, the optimum properties for the antenna to operate are not being identified enough. Therefore, this research conducted aims to study the optimization of microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna for wideband application. Two microstrip Yagi-Uda antennas with different dimension were designed through Advanced Design System (ADS) software. The effect of properties which are dimension, polarization angle, frequency and distance was investigated to obtain the best output power as the response. The analysis part was conducted on studying the effect of the properties by using 24 factorial design method. The analysis through Design Expert (DOE) software identified that the optimal solution for the microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna are 15 cm dimension, 180˚ polarization angle, 3000 MHz frequency and 15 cm distance. These optimal settings are selected for affecting the microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna to operate with the best output power.
