INDUCTIVE LOADING
Add a lumbed inductance.
Antenna bandwidth also increases.
The circular groove acts as a annular slot antenna and contributes to radiation.
Stub is realised in horizontal direction- volume is reduced.
Ls and Cs – Resonance frequency fs.
Parallel RLC – Resonance frequency fp.

LENGTH OF SHORTED TRANSMISSION LINE
Most sensitive parameter- length of shorted
transmission line, lm.
Thickness of the wall, t, was varied within a
few millimetres.
Wm was kept constant.
Reduction of t – increase in fp.

SHORTING PIN LOADING
Change the non-radiating
series resonance
to a radiating parallel
resonance
Shorting pins are
incorporated in the antenna.
Lower the resonance frequency
, fs.
Total size of the
antenna remain small.
Resonance frequency and input impedance:• Number
of pins.• Radius of
the pins.• Distance
between them.

ANTENNA DESIGN[ AVIONICS ]
Diameter 30.25mm, height 8mm was assumed for the antenna volume.
Radius of the pins and
thickness of the plates kept constant.
Global optimization
based on generic algorithm was
run.
The result is locally optimized
with a quasi-Newton
algorithm.
2 configurations;• - No pins, middle
plate is present.• - no middle plate,
pins are present.

INDEPENDENT BEHAVIOR OF RESONANCES
The currents on the shorting pins and feed pin are compared.
Simulated with 4 ports : three 50 Ω shorting pin and one coaxial feeding.
Relationship between current and voltage is [V]=[Z][I].
V1=1v, voltage at the feed port, V2=V3=V4=0v, voltage at the pins.
Using these voltages [I]can be calculated.
The Ipin/I1 was calculated.
