Abstract :
The theory of characteristic modes is a very useful tool to get physical insight into antenna behavior. It is possible to easily obtain resonant frequencies, modal radiation Q or bandwidth, modal currents and modal radiation patterns. The paper is intended to study well known linear antennas under this new point of view.
