Abstract:Electrically small antennas usually exhibit limited bandwidth and reduced efficiency. The aperture tuning technique offers a means to achieve broad frequency characteristics for such antennas. However, determining the optimal positioning of the tuning element can be challenging. Consequently, a novel wideband tuning method based on characteristic mode analysis is introduced. According to the analysis of modal significance and characteristic current distribution of the small loop antenna, a small slot is create… Show more
