  • Abstract
    The aim of the work described herein is to further investigate the design in [1] by means of both measurement and analysis, to determine if improvement could be made by careful optimisation of the design. Evaluation of the antenna¿s performance in terms of the excitation of particular current modes on its surface is made by means of an FDTD model.
