Abstract:

In order to broaden the impedance bandwidth of an antenna, the multi-tuned impedance matching technology can be utilized. An antenna can be equivalent to a single-port microwave resonant circuit according to the theory of impedance matching. In a practical antenna design, multi-tuned impedance matching can be performed on either the antenna feed network or the radiator. Two examples are given to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the multi-tuned impedance matching technology. Experimental results show that a folded monopole achieves double-tuned impedance matching by introducing a loop, thus enhancing its fractional impedance bandwidth from 9.70% to 46.80%. In addition, a sleeve antenna obtains a triple-tuned impedance matching with the presence of four metal pillars, thus improving its band of operation from 55.14% to 82.11%.
