Experimental Studies of Antenna Miniaturization Using Magneto-Dielectric and Dielectric Materials

Antti O. Karilainen, Pekka M. T. Ikonen, Constantin R. Simovski +5

Measurement results for a meandered planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) loaded with magneto-dielectric and dielectric materials are presented. Figures of merit and ways to compare ant…

Electrically small metamaterial-based antennas - have we seen any real practical benefits?

Pekka Ikonen

Electrically small metamaterial-based antennas are discussed from the industrial point of view using mobile phones as the application example. It appears, that despite the interest…

Mesoscopic effective material parameters for thin layers modeled as single and double grids of interacting loaded wires

Pekka Ikonen, Elena Saenz, Ramon Gonzalo +2

As an example of thin composite layers we consider single and double grids of periodically arranged interacting wires loaded with a certain distributed reactive impedance. Currents…

Modeling and Analysis of Composite Antenna Superstrates Consisting on Grids of Loaded Wires

Pekka Ikonen, Elena Saenz, Ramon Gonzalo +1

We study the characteristics and radiation mechanism of antenna superstrates based on closely located periodical grids of loaded wires. An explicit analytical method based on the l…
