In this design, the dipole antenna fed network with tapered balun is studied. The design and experimental results of low profile microstrip dipole antenna with tapered balun shows fairly good performances in this paper. The feed network with wide bandwidth and low power loss tapered microstrip line to overlap coplanar stripline (CPS) transition that provided unbalanced to balanced equal power of 180° phase difference. The achieved planar dipole antenna exhibits 19% of 10‐dB bandwidth. Full wave EM analyses shows good agreement with those experimental data. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
