Abstract:Previous studies have shown that monopoles loaded with material of equal permittivity and permeability values give increased bandwidth and radiation efficiency for a given size reduction. Positioning the monopole orthogonally to the head directs pattern nulls towards the head, which leads to low Specific Absorption Rates (SAR). Simulated results of the material loaded monopole showed dual-mode behaviour. In this paper, the simple monopole is translated into a compact antenna design suitable for mobile handsets… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
