Abstract :
The paper presented a general synthesis method that can be applied to guide the design procedure of many modern antenna/array problems. The technique is also useful in interpreting lots of measurement findings, and should facilitate the optimization process for enhanced solutions. A diversity antenna was designed and measured to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed design methodology.
