Zusammenfassung:A novel simple approach is presented for designing a broadband single layer substrate printed log-periodic dipole array (PLPDA) antenna by using microstrip technology. The PLPDA antenna has the merits of wide bandwidth, low profile and light weight, which should be fed by the balanced line. The balanced line, created by the geometric features of the microstrip, provides a balun with a considerably wide bandwidth with low profile, broad bandwidth and low insertion loss etc. The prototype of the proposed microstrip printed log-periodic array at Ka band is designed and fabricated; the measured data are in good agreement with the simulated results.
