Abstract :
An inhomogeneous loop plate (iHomLP) is composed of M loops in the x-direction and (2N+1) loops in the y-direction. All the loops have the same peripheral length, and have different strip widths in the x-direction. It is found that, as the number of loops (2N+1) is increased, the gain increases gradually and reaches a maximum value. The frequency band of the VSWR is approximately 5.7% for M = 2N + 1 = 9.
