Abstract :
Several types of polygonal loop antennas are investigated and their fundamental properties demonstrated. For example, a wide range of input impedances can be obtained depending on the shape of the loop. Some loop configurations exhibit a more broad-band property than others. This property is explained by examining the current distributions on the loops obtained by the moment method.
