Abstract :
This paper presents the analysis of Franklin antenna by the Theory of Characteristic Modes. Modal radiation efficiencies are calculated and used to obtain the overall radiation efficiency. For each mode also the Q factor is calculated. On these results the influence of distance between arms of the folded part of antenna is demonstrated.
