  • Abstract
    So-called bi-quad antennas fabricated from a simple piece of wire have found their use in applications for terrestrial digital TV (DVB-T) and wireless LANs (WLAN). A realization of such antennas in planar form and the extension to a novel four-quad antenna are described in this contribution. A bandwidth of more than 40% and a gain of around 8 dB of this antenna are demonstrated; narrower beamwidths and a further increase of gain can be achieved using a reflector.
