Abstract :
Comparisons between planar (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) versions of the Egyptian axe dipole near-field resonant parasitic (NFRP) antenna are presented. In particular, their radiation efficiencies and frequency bandwidths as functions of their electrical size (ka) are obtained. It is demonstrated that there is little difference in the ka behavior between the 2D and 3D versions.
