N2 - Design equations for the standard Quasi Yagi-Uda antenna built on 60 mil FR4 are presented to be used on fixed wireless telecommunication systems, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and LTE. In this work, the design equations are systematically proposed for the band between 1 GHz and 3 GHz, where relative bandwidth is better than 39%, the cross-polarization is lower than-15dB for every angle and frequency, the cross-polarization is lower than-25dB in the main lobe and a front to back ratio better than 12dB in all the bandwidth. Three antennas where designed, built and measured with the proposed equations at 1.5GHz, 2GHz and 3GHz, showing good agreement with the simulation results.
