AB - ABSTRACT A feasible and low cost approach to implement a nonplanar dual‐polarized log‐periodic dipole array antenna using printed circuit board (PCB) technology is proposed. The proposed antenna utilizes a very short transition from a coaxial cable to a balanced twin‐lead transmission line to realize an ultrawide bandwidth balun, and has two distinct scaling factor values for high and low frequency elements. A prototype of the antenna operating over the frequency range of 1–13 GHz was designed, fabricated, and tested. An average gain of 7 dBi is obtained. Measured VSWR, cross‐polarization and front‐to‐back ratio are better than 2.6, −16 dB, and 22 dB, respectively. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
