Abstract

It has been shown that the gain and the bandwidth of the loop antenna can be substantially improved by increasing the electric dipole moment of the antenna. A suggested combination of the loop antenna with a wideband dipole increases antenna gain by 15dB and extends the antenna bandwidth by 80%.
