Abstract
Inexpensive, efficient, and electrically‐small antenna designs are presented, which are based on a two‐dimensional (2D) metamaterial‐inspired structure driven by an electrically‐small rectangular semiloop antenna that is coaxially‐fed through a finite PEC ground plane. Measured reflection coefficients showed a very good agreement with the simulated data, where the measured resonant frequency is only 0.5% different from the numerically predicted value. The proposed 2D antenna systems are linearly scalable with frequency, and predicted radiation characteristics of the antenna systems at 300, 430, and 1580 MHz are reported. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We propose an electrically small antenna that achieves broad bandwidth with small antenna size. This antenna is composed of a hemispherical disk‐loaded monopole and a hemispherically wound helix to maximize the disk loading effect and the electromagnetic coupling between the two radiati
## 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
## Abstract In this article, an electrically small loop antenna using capacitive loading is proposed. The loop antenna acts as an inductive element and the gap between two lines of SRR in the ground plane acts as a capacitive element; hence the combined system with these two elements is operated as
In this paper it is shown how the matrix pencil method could be used for direction finding in 3D scenarios. To accomplish this, the wavefield is assumed to be sampled (in space and in time) by two uniform linear arrays forming a right angle (e.g., a cross array of an L-shaped array). The algorithm p
