Abstract :
A dual-loop antenna, each loop having a single wire, is analyzed using the method of moments. Special attention is paid to the bandwidth for a 3-dB axial-ratio criterion. A comparison between the reference and modified antennas reveals that the bandwidth can be enlarged by a factor of two.
