1. A directional antenna comprising:
a main element;
a pair of reflector elements connected to the main element and configured to improve the directionality of the antenna in a first frequency band;
a first pair of driver elements connected to an end of the main element, wherein the first pair of driver elements is parallel to the pair of reflector elements and is configured to operate in a second frequency band; and
a second pair of driver elements connected to the main element between the pair of reflector elements and the first pair of driver elements,
wherein the second pair of driver elements is configured to operate in the first frequency band, and
wherein each element of the second pair of driver elements includes a right angle that is positioned between the ends of each element of the second pair of driver elements so that a portion of each element of the second pair of driver elements is parallel to the pair of reflector elements and the portion of each element of the second pair of driver elements is configured to improve the directionality of the antenna in the second frequency band.
