Abstract: A multi-element directional antenna having three-wire elements in the form of square open loops. The three wires of each of the loops are arranged close together and aligned along the direction of radiation of the antenna. Each of the loops is open—that is, the wires are split, leaving a gap between the ends of the elements. In a two-element embodiment, an active driven element and a parasitic element are aligned and spaced apart along an axis of the direction of radiation of the antenna. One of the wires of the driven element is split in half, such that the driven element forms a three-wire folded dipole. Additional active or parasitic elements can be added.
