Abstract :
A new lower bound for the radiation Q 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 ka <; 0.863, the new bound is lower than the bounds for spherical magnetic as well as electric dipole antennas composed of impressed electric currents in free space.
