Abstract :
In this paper, a miniaturized half bowtie printed dipole antenna is presented. It is a two layered printed antenna with the feed line on the top surface of a dielectric substrate, while the radiating arms are on the bottom surface. Agilent Momentum is used to simulate the performance of this design. It is proven to have better performance than the previously reported miniaturized printed dipole in terms of its size and percentage bandwidth.
