This paper presents a novel wideband planar dipole antenna with parasitic patches. Of which, acting primarily as directors, the parasitic elements aim to improve the radiation patterns in terms of gain especially at the higher frequencies. For verification, the proposed novel structure was fabricated and measured. The proposed antenna is well-matched with achieved VSWR<2 and has a good radiation performance across the entire operating frequency range of 3-8 GHz.
