Abstract
Content

Using advances in the areas of multi-mode, closely coupled miniaturized radiators and artificially engineered materials, ultra-broadband, highly efficient, electrically small antennas were developed for operation in military communications systems. A low-profile UWB antenna was developed that is composed of two electrically small loops coupled together in their near fields. Each loop has a three-dimensional surface with a bent diamond-arm shape. Half of each loop placed on top of an infinite conducting ground plane is used in the design. Each loop is loaded with a top hat to reduce the lowest frequency of operation of the antenna.
