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, and a constant current model for loops. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

thinner layers. Obviously, the ability to reduce the separation of the 2-D planes of scattering elements to, and below, the ideal hcp distance has enabled us to improve the stopband characteristics, and could, in the future, be an essential tool in designing optimum MDPC structures. ## Conclusions
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.
## Abstract By inserting width discontinuities in the middle of a rectangular microstrip patch, the length of a microstrip antenna can be significantly reduced at a given operating frequency. However, as the antenna size is reduced, the radiation efficiency becomes degraded. In this paper, it is sh
