A NOVEL 3D CUBIC LOOP ANTENNA WITH NEARLY ISOTROPIC PATTERN

摘要

A novel three-dimensional cubic loop antenna with nearly isotropic patterns is proposed. The proposed antenna, operates at around 700 MHz, has 6.3 dBi of total realized gain and a nearly isotropic radiation pattern. The proposed antenna can be used for wireless sensors in the field, such as infrastructure monitoring and in energy harvesting from the environment. If needed the antenna can be miniaturized using high dielectric materials. The antenna can be scaled and used at other frequencies.
