In this article, the design of a dual‐polarized quasi‐Yagi antenna array is described. The quasi‐Yagi elements are fed by broadband microstrip‐to‐CPS balun. A feeding circuit that contains multiple Lange couplers is designed to feed a 2 × 2 array of quasi‐Yagi elements. A 30% bandwidth (1.4 to 1.75 GHz) is achieved for VSWR and gain. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
