Dockons CPL Technology: Microstrip Compound Antennas for Commercial Use

The purpose of this document is to familiarize the reader with recent developments in the area of electrically small (ELS) compound antenna science. Compound antennas are those in which both the TM and TE modes are excited in order to achieve performance benefits in higher bandwidth (lower Q), greater radiation intensity/power/gain, and greater efficiency for ELS antennas than previously thought possible.
