## Abstract The relation of Q and halfβpower bandwidth for antennas, Q = 1/BW, is well known. Here it is shown that 1/Q gives an accurate bandwidth for electrically small dipoles and loops. Bandwidths from 1/Q are compared with exact bandwidths, using a sinusoidal current computer model for dipoles

Theoretical and experimental investigations have been performed on the application of a uniplanar quasi-Yagi antenna as a receiving and transmitting antenna element of a spatial power combiner. A single tray consisting of two back-to-back antennas, and then five-and seven-tray configurations for ope
Electrically small compound antennas consisting of thin-( ) ( ) wire line TM and loop TE dipoles are analyzed numerically and experimentally to quantitati¨ely describe the actual current distributions along the elements and the effects of mutual coupling between the TM and TE sources.
A new measurement method using a specially de¨eloped ''random'' positioner is described. It allows accurate measurement of the maximum gain of electrically small antennas.
