Abstract :
In this present work, control of currents on a more complicated planar structure, a model for a conducting window frame, will be introduced. The modification of the current distribution will be facilitated by the use of a type of dielectric loading, which can be adapted to other conducting structures. It will be shown that an electrically large window frame can be made to radiate similarly to a half-wavelength dipole by using dielectric loading
