Metamaterial-inspired Compact Directive Antenna Systems

Abstract

Huygens dipole and multipole antennas are briefly reviewed. These electrically small systems provide enhanced directivity, a feature highly desired for current and future wireless platforms. The design, simulation, fabrication and measurement results for the Huygens dipole antennas are discussed. The Huygens multipole antenna concepts are described. These brief examinations will be greatly expanded upon during my presentation.
