Abstract

A folded rhombic antenna as a broadband antenna for measuring a radiated electromagnetic emission was numerically analyzed using the finite integration method in frequencies from 100 MHz to 6 GHz. In the analysis, radiation patterns, absolute gains, front-to-back ratios (F/B), and antenna impedances were calculated in cases of three types of antenna dimensions. As a result, the antenna is applicable to the emission measurement in frequencies from 110 MHz to 2 GHz as a broadband antenna that has larger F/B than that of a biconical antenna and more compact size than that of a log-periodic dipole array antenna.
