Abstract :
This paper deals with the balanced wideband dipole antenna with a dual V shaped geometry. It has been shown that two parameter features of the dipole antenna, arm angle and base length can be used to control the impedance match and directivity respectively. The antenna exhibits moderate gain and good radiation coverage. These features make the proposed antenna suitable in weak signal environments.
