N2 - A novel quasi-Yagi antenna based on a magnetic-current-loop-induced electric dipole is presented in this paper. The design emulates the conventional quasi-Yagi antenna by introducing multiple parasitic planar dipole elements that function as directors. However, unlike conventional designs, the proposed antenna radiates a vertically polarized wave by employing virtual dipoles oriented perpendicular to the plane. This eliminates the restriction of positioning the antenna at the edge of the board, providing increased flexibility of integration with microstrip circuitry. The proposed topology is verified through full wave simulation using ANSYS HFSS for antennas consisting of one, two, and five dipole elements.
