Wideband Low-Frequency Antenna Formation Using a Cluster of Near-field Coupled Small Antennas
Abstract
In this report, we present a method based on magnetic coupling of a cluster of detached miniaturized antennas on different platforms to effectively create a larger antenna and hence, provide much higher larger bandwidth and efficiency than the individual antenna. This concept is demonstrated using three miniaturized folded dipole antennas fed by synchronized sources. Parametric studies are carried out for the design of antennas to achieve polarization purity, maximum bandwidth and appropriate radiation efficiency We then have introduced a simplified circuit...
