| dc.description.abstract | In this study a simple method to develop a wideband antenna is proposed. With this new technique a dipole antenna with a 48% frequency bandwidth is transformed to achieve a 120% frequency bandwidth for a voltage standing-wave ratio ≤ 2. Two different designs are tested and their performance is compared: the segmented-ring antenna and the split-ring antenna. Both antennas achieved a stable radiation pattern and a moderate gain. Nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns have been observed in both the XZ and YZ-planes. Finally, simple passive arrays are presented, demonstrating the usefulness of the split-ring antenna as an array element. Beam steering is demonstrated with a four element passive array using horizontal meandering lines. This novel antenna has wide applications in high-capacity wireless communication system. | en_US |
