Miniaturized Antennas for Compact Soldier Combat Systems

Abstract

We simulate miniature loop and patch antennas with reactive elements embedded in the substrate of the antenna. To lower the antenna's effective resonant frequency and reduce the physical size of the antenna, we considered split-ring resonators (SRRs) as the antenna's inductive substrate material. Simulation results indicate a size reduction of up to thirty-eight percent is possible using this technique.
