New Radiation Q Limits for Spherical Wire Antennas
نویسنده
چکیده
Considerable work has been published to define the minimum possible antenna radiation as a function of the antenna size and gain. Many of the derivations assume an enclosing sphere and deal only with the fields external to this sphere. As a result, the limits tend to be overly optimistic, and realizable antennas generally have ’s considerably higher than the minimum values predicted by these theories. This paper defines stricter limits that apply to a class of antennas (or scatterers) consisting of any arrangement of conductors on a spherical surface. Energy stored within the sphere is included in the analysis. The minimum values are as much as three times the values based only on external fields. Recently published independent experimental data on electrically small antennas in this class reported values only slightly higher than the new limits provided in this paper.

A Study of Electromagnetic Radiation from Monopole Antennas on Spherical-Lossy Earth Using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method
Radiation from monopole antennas on spherical-lossy earth is analyzed by the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method in spherical coordinates. A novel generalized perfectly matched layer (PML) has been developed for the truncation of the lossy soil. For having an accurate modeling with less memory requirements, an efficient "non-uniform" mesh generation scheme is used. Also in each time step...

A new lower bound for the radiation of electrically small spherical magnetic dipole antennas with solid magnetodielectric core is derived in closed form using the exact theory. The new bound approaches the Chu lower bound from above as the antenna electrical size decreases. For , the new bound is lower than the bounds for spherical magnetic as well as electric dipole antennas composed of impres...

It is known that if a conductor resides in the neighboring of an antenna with a small distance relative to the wavelength, it induces a reverse current on the conductor. This paper involves the unavoidable coupling effects on some common types of LF antennas, due to the large wavelength in this frequency band. In particular, after some discussions about top-loaded antennas, the coupling effect ...

Fast growth of the number of mobile phone subscribers in Iran, over the last few years, is the reason for construction of more and more base stations (BTS) especially in residential areas. As the BTS antennas emit radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy, so it is the main concern of general public about their health and safety. The aim of this research work is to assess public exposure...
متن کاملA Study of the Performance Properties of Small Antennas
Electrically small antennas are of interest in a variety of applications, particularly where the antennas must be unobtrusive. The performance properties considered in the design of small antennas typically include impedance, radiation efficiency, pattern shape, polarization and particularly operating bandwidth and quality factor (Q). In this paper, we compare the performance properties of seve...
