Abstract in different language:	This article presents the design, modeling, and fabrication of a printed log-periodic biconical dipole array antenna (PLPBDA) for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements. The proposed structure used bow tie-shaped dipoles instead of typical dipoles to achieve a size reduction of 50% and bandwidth enhancement of 170% with the help of PCB technology. Furthermore, the balanced feeding method and the modifications in bow tie-shaped dipole dimensions were utilized to obtain broad bandwidth of 5.5 GHz (from 0.5 GHz to 6 GHz). This structure comprises 12 dipole elements with a compact size of 170 × 160 × 1.6 mm, reflecting low fluctuations gain of about (4.6–7) dBi with the help of an extra dipole. Moreover, the achieved frequency and radiation characteristics (simulated and measured) agree with each other and are compatible with the results of classical EMC antennas. The achievements of this structure showed promising results compared to both literature reviews and reference antenna Hyper LOG® 7060 offered for sale.
