A conceptual framework is proposed to systematically design antennas with broadband impedance and pattern characteristics using multiple reactive loads. Antennas of arbitrary geometry can have their bandwidths expanded using this technique. The technique is applied to a narrow band thin wire dipole antenna to demonstrate its main features. It is shown that the loaded antenna resonates a desired current...
Electrically small dipole antennas with ka less than 0.5 exhibit low radiation resistance, high capacitive reactance and high Q factor which is inversely proportional to antenna bandwidth. Here, the k is the free space wave number and a is the radius of an imaginary sphere which circumscribes the whole antenna. Spherical dipole antennas potently have higher effective volume if compared to other small...
The antenna under consideration is a five-turn Archimedean rectangular two-arm wire spiral antenna, which is 46 x 15.7cm in size is presented in this paper. It is placed in the x-y plane. There are two ports (one per arm) located at the center. Normally, a two-arm spiral antenna cannot practically radiate spiral mode 2, as it requires the two-ports at the center to be excited in phase (i.e. an unbalanced...
Characteristic mode theory as formulated in the works of Garbacz and Turpin (1971) and Harrington and Mautz (1971), has been used in a variety of applications, including radiation and scattering analysis and pattern synthesis. In this work, the theory of characteristic modes was used to analyze the input impedance and currents of a two-arm spherical antenna. Suggestions were given on improving broadband...
