Low-Profile Broadband Top-Loaded Triangular Antenna with Folded Rim
Keywords:
Broadband, folded rim, low profile, moment method, op-loaded triangular antennaAbstract
This paper presents the impedance matching technique and the bandwidth characteristics of a low-profile top-loaded triangular antenna with oblique shorting pins. The folded rim is arranged at the edge of the finite ground plane. The bandwidth diagrams for various antenna heights, finite sizes of the ground plane, and the widths of the folded rim are obtained through the moment-method simulation. The maximum bandwidth of 43 % is achieved with 0.05 ? height. For the low-profile configuration, the bandwidth of 17 % is obtained with 0.03 ? height.
