End-fire Complementary Antenna

KTO aspires to become the gateway for easy access to the intellectual resources nurtured by the CityU.
The novel antenna is built from stacked laminates with metallic planar patterns, whose layers are connected by metallic pins. It has a complementary structure, comprising a pair of orthogonally oriented sources: a magnetic dipole and an electrical dipole. The magnetic dipole source involves two parallel planar plates, while the electrical dipole source is provided by two pairs of metallic pins. The two sources are excited simultaneously by a probe. This probe is linked to a feed line—connecting the antenna with a radio transmitter or receiver—that offers the advantage of wideband unimodal operation, enabling the antenna to operate over a wide frequency band. Furthermore, the complementary nature of the two sources (magnetic and electrical) allows the antenna to produce unidirectional radiation.
