Abstract
A compact, parasitic array antenna printed on both sides of the substrate to generate dual Notches is introduced. The antenna is composed of one driver and two directors. Both directors are discretely segmented and are twisted with each other to minimize the radiation interference from one director to the other at each resonance. The antenna is optimized for realized gains in the director direction at the two resonant frequencies. The optimized antenna has been fabricated and measured to verify the simulated results. At both resonances, the measured realized gains in the director direction are greater than 8.5 dBi, and the front-to-back ratios are more than 10 dB.
