Abstract

Wideband dipole antennas are proposed using the multi-mode resonance concept. By symmetrically introducing one-pair or two-pair of stubs at the nulls of current distribution of the second odd-order mode, two radiation modes are excited in a single, center-fed dipole resonator. Using these stubs, the second odd-order mode gradually moves down to its first counterpart, resulting to achieve a wideband radiation with two resonances. Prototype antennas are then fabricated to experimentally validate the design approach. Compared with a reference dipole with a bandwidth of 17%, the proposed dipole's bandwidth can be effectively increased to 49.7%.
