In our letter, the simplicity of the design of a directive antenna with only printed dipoles is shown. We extend a technique used in [4], which aims to get a high gain, a high sidelobe level rejection and a low level of back radiations.

For this purpose, a rigorous formulation was developed; trial functions of C and π modes were obtained from the quasi-symmetric case, and thus proposed for the asymmetric case. A comparative study of propagation characteristics with respect electrical and physical parameters demonstrated the limits of the quasi-symmetric model validity due to influence of shielding and metal strips widths difference.
