Numerous pattern-reconfigurable antennas stemmed from the variations of the
Yagi-Uda antenna.
Yagi-Uda antenna was developed in 1920 and it is known to be the most conventional travelling wave antenna.
In Section 2, we introduce the traditional
Yagi-Uda antenna first and then propose the bidirectional Yagi antenna.
This principle of antenna operation is much like a
Yagi-Uda antenna set on a dielectric substrate backed by a finite ground plane.
Follow the conventional
Yagi-Uda antenna, three different rings are named as director, driven element and reflector respectively in this paper.

Yagi-Uda antenna design using multi-objective differential evolution," Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol.
A standard
Yagi-Uda antenna is made up of a set of parallel metal rods that gradually decrease in length.
Several antenna types such as microstrip antenna, dipole, monopole, and
Yagi-Uda antenna are used as the receiving antenna for RF energy harvesting.

Yagi-Uda antenna FED by a microstrip-slot coplanar stripline transition," Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol.
Common narrow band antenna designs are dish antennas, dipole, loop, microstrip patch or
Yagi-Uda antenna [1-4].
A classic example is the
Yagi-Uda antenna with an active feed element, a passive reflector and several passive directors.
