Abstract
A biomimetic electrically small antenna system is proposed in this paper, which may lead to advancements in designing electrically small antennas. It was demonstrated that using an antenna system modeled based on the hearing mechanism of a parasitoid fly may allow us to design electrically small antenna systems with directional characteristics that are commonly found in larger antenna array systems. Further investigations are necessary to evaluate the extent to which such biomimetic concepts can enhance the current state-of-the-art in electrically small antenna design.
