The Novel Approach for Design of Initial Parameters of Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna with a Cardioid Pattern

Abstract

The modified representation of the magneto-electric dipole antenna is presented and analyzed by the method of space transformation. The one electric and one magnetic dipole can be properly combined to yield a cardioid-shaped pattern for linearly polarized electromagnetic waves. The shape and the half-power beam-width of the pattern are examined. This modified representation offers important advantages in prediction of the initial geometrical parameters to be used in full-wave electromagnetic optimization by proper solver such as “WIPL-D” “CST Studio Suite” “Ansoft HFSS” and so on.
