Abstract :
We report here on the modeling and experimental verification of a metamaterials-inspired, electrically small antenna developed for use in mesoband HPM applications. The antenna is an adaption of the previously reported magnetic EZ Antenna. The primary adaptations needed for use in this HPM application is the alteration of the feed impedance, control of field enhancement, and - most importantly - the electrical decoupling of the antenna from the HPM source. Preliminary results from the driven antenna operating at 510 MHz are presented.
