7.2.1.1.1.1.3 Folded-type meander line antenna

As can be seen in Figure 7.5, Q of a meander line antenna becomes higher as the size becomes smaller, meaning that the smaller the antenna size becomes, the narrower the bandwidth will be. In order to increase the bandwidth, a folded type can be useful [10], since a folded structure has substantially two modes, balanced and unbalanced modes, and by arranging the susceptances of these two modes appropriately, bandwidth can be increased. Figure 7.9 is an antenna model, constituting a folded structure with two meander lines, which are connected at the top. The folded structure is decomposed into two parts; balanced and unbalanced modes as shown in Figure 7.10 [11], in which

(a)shows the folded structure, on which currents I1 and I2 flow on each element, and

(b)illustrates decomposed modes; the unbalanced mode (the current Iu) plus balanced mode (the current Ib). The unbalanced mode current Iu equals (I1 + I)2/(1 + γ ), and the balanced mode current Ib equals (γ I1 I2)/(1 + γ ), where γ stands for the ratio of the unbalanced current on the element 1 and that on the element 2 [10]. This folded model is

equivalently expressed by a circuit shown in Figure 7.11, in which the circuit parameters such as the source voltage V, currents I1, the decomposed mode currents Iu and Ib, and the impedances for both modes, Zu (unbalanced) and Zb (balanced), are provided.

By using these circuit parameters, Zu and Zb respectively, are given by

 

n2 Zu = V/Iu

(7.6)

and

 

Zb = V/(2Ib)

(7.7)

where Iu = (I1 + I2)/(1 + γ ), Ib = (γ I1 I2)/(1 + γ ), and γ denotes a ratio of unbalanced currents on the element 1 and 2, and n = 1 + γ .

From (7.6), the unbalanced impedance n2 Zu = V/In2, and is given by using radiation resistance R, antenna Q, and resonance frequency f0 as

n2 Zu = R + j Ru

(7.8)

where u = Q( f / f0 f0/ f ) = Q(2 f )/ f0 ( f = f f0).

(7.9)

Admittance (unbalanced) Yu is expressed from (7.8) as

 

Yu = 1/(n2 Zu ) = Gu + j Bu

(7.10)

and Gu = 1/{R(1 + u2)}

 

Bu = −u/{R(1 + u2)}

(7.11)

In the same way, the balanced mode admittance Yb is

 

Yb = 1/Zb = jBb

(7.12)

and Bb = −B0u/Q.

(7.13)

Here B0 is defined by using a parameter K as

 

 

 

 

B0 = K Q.

(7.14)

Then Bb = K u.

(7.15)

Now the total susceptance Bt = Bu + Bb will be

+ K u.

Bt = −

From (7.11) and (7.14), when u is very small, Bu approaches 1/R, and by selecting an appropriate value for K, Bt can be made to be zero. The reflection coefficient of the line is given by

(u) = {Y0 + Yi (u)}/{Y0 Yi (u)}.

(7.17)

(u) is a function of u, and Y0 is the characteristic admittance of the line. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) S as function of (u) is

S(u) = {1 + (u)}/{1 (u)}.

Now desired relative bandwidth RBW is expressed by using bandwidth

Then, (7.19b) shows that increase of RBW is possible by setting um at its maximum value.

S with respect to u is illustrated in Figure 7.12, where R is taken as a parameter, and in Figure 7.13, where K is used as a parameter, respectively. Design parameters can be known from Figure 7.14 and Figure 7.15, in which relationships between Sm and K, and

Sm and um, respectively, are provided. RBW in relation to Sm is given in Figure 7.16, where Q is used as the parameter.

In practical designs, one of these antennas may be decomposed into two modal parts: balanced and unbalanced modes. The balanced mode can be treated equivalently as a two-wire transmission line of length L with characteristic impedance Z0. Here the length L is that of the meander line from the feed point to its end. The input susceptance Bb of this line is written as

Bb = −(1/Z0) cot(2π L).

(7.20)

By using the wavelength λ0 at the resonance,

Bb = −(1/Z0) cot{(2π L0)(1 + f / f0)}.
