It is found that by using a shorting conductor across the aperture of the folded slot we could reduce the number of folds required to achieve a solution with an input impedance of 50 Omega. The size of the shorting conductor directly impacted the number of folds required and thus the overall size of the low profile radiator; the larger the shorting conductor the smaller the number of folds and therefore the smaller the overall size of the antenna. Although a consequence of using this size reduction technique is a reduction in antenna bandwidth and efficiency, this is expected and no different to that observed for any size reduction scheme","PeriodicalId":6423,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77829166","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}

By formulating this task as an optimization problem using the directional cosines, the recently introduced quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm was able to successfully obtain good solution. A new boundary condition was introduced to handle the coupling between the directional cosines. The frequency response of the dipole model was also investigated. Although the model was obtained at a single design frequency, the dipoles at the same locations can be used through a wideband scheme by correcting the dipole moments.
