Abstract :
A small radiating structure has been developed which, operating on a large ground plane, maintains stable input impedance and a unidirectional-beam pattern over bandwidths of 10 to 1 or more. Impedance stability and directivity are obtained from this small antenna at the cost of frequency-dependent efficiency. Useable bandwidth, being determined by factors other than impedance match, may therefore exceed that for other small antennas with fixed matching networks.
