Abstract
Miniaturization of traveling-wave (TW) antennas by the slow-wave (SW) technique is shown highly promising over large instantaneous bandwidths, up to 10:1 for the unidirectional radiator and over 100:1 for the omnidirectional radiator. The technique enables a single multifunction antenna to handle virtually all terrestrial and satellite communications on an automobile, except for AM/FM radio.
