Physical Bounds for Antennas Above a Ground Plane

Research output: Contribution to journalLetterpeer-review

Abstract

Physical limitations of antennas above infinite perfect electric conductor (PEC) ground planes are determined using the stored electromagnetic energy. Stored energies are computed with the method of moments (MoM) and the image theory. Convex optimization is used to derive the G/Q ratio and Q-factor for a reference geometry and the results are compared for different antenna types.
