Abstract :
In this paper, a new technique has been proposed to enhance the impedance bandwidth of the COCO (Coaxial Collinear) antenna. The technique is rotating the coaxial-cable subsections of the antenna. The HFSS is adopted to prove its validity, and the simulated results indicate that the proposed method can widen the bandwidth from 4.2% to 13.5%.
