I. INTRODUCTION
The Yagi-Uda antenna, first published in an English
language journal in 1928 [1], has been used extensively as an
end-fire antenna. However, only limited success has been
achieved at adapting this antenna to microwave/millimeter Fig. 1. Photograph of Quasi-Yagi antenna (front plane)
wave operation. Several interesting approaches for this are a
microstrip Yagi array based on the microstrip patch antenna
[2], and a broadband Quasi-Yagi antenna for WIFI and WiMax
application [3].
In this paper, we present a Quasi-Yagi antenna to enhance
antenna gain and directivity. For this Quasi-Yagi antenna,
dipole driven element technique is used to improve the antenna
directivity. Meandered design technique applies to the antenna
in order to miniature the size of antenna. Perfect isotropic
antenna has gain value of 1. Antenna that has gain greater than
1 is considered high gain and directional antenna.

Fig. 12: 2-D Far field radio wave radiation with gain
According to gain simulation result in fig. 12, the gain
value for Quasi-Yagi is 2.901. Any antenna has gain value
greater than 1 is considering a directional antenna.
V. CONCLUSION
Conclusion, objective of this paper achieved. The gain of
Fig. 10: 2-D Far field radio wave radiation the antenna is increased from 1 to 2.901. As the gain of the
antenna increase, directivity of the antenna also increases. This
Quasi-Yagi antenna now radiates the Wi-Fi signal in one
direction.
