Abstract :
A loop-loaded dipole that combines the impedance and radiation characteristics of a small dipole and a small loop on a printed circuit board is proposed. Simulation shows a near-isotropic radiation pattern from a self-resonating 0.1lambda antenna prototype with 3.8 dB maximum gain deviation in the full space.
