Abstract :
A new modified gamma-matched dielectric-loaded antenna suitable for terrestrial cellular applications is presented. A lumped-element equivalent circuit model is developed based on the electrical contribution of different elements of the antenna. Measured, simulated and equivalent circuit model predicted return losses are compared to test the validity of our equivalent circuit model.
