Abstract:Abstract-A new miniaturization methodology suitable for printed linear antennas is presented. Miniaturization is accomplished by replacing a linear radiator element of a conventional antenna with a compact continuously varying-impedance profile governed by a truncated Fourier series. A design example of a printed half-wavelength dipole antenna is designed and realized in microstrip technology. The performance of the proposed antenna is compared with its equivalent uniform dipole to highlight the performance eq… Show more
