The coupled-fed loop antenna formed by a feeding strip and a coupled shorting strip can support two operating bands, both of which cannot cover the desired frequency bands. By embedding a rotated U-shaped strip into the coupled-fed loop to maintain the compactness of the antenna, a distributed parallel resonant circuit (PRC) is formed to expand the bandwidths of the lower band and the higher band. The proposed antenna has a uniplanar structure and is easy to be fabricated on a thin FR4 substrate with an area of only 10 × 50 mm2.","PeriodicalId":354277,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation Conference Proceedings","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123654826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FDTD method is one of the powerful tools in EM field. In the FDTD method, small cell size is required to model complex geometry such as human body. Therefore, the FDTD method needs long calculation time in MHz range analysis, because the time step of the FDTD method is should be small with cell size reducing. Furthermore, time period of MHz range becomes long. On the other hand, ARMA (Autoregressive moving average model)-FDTD method is effective to reduce calculation time. In this research, ARMA-FDTD is applied to MHz range analysis to reduce calculation time.
