Embedded matching networks for electrically small antennas

This work presents a solution for matching electrically small antennas in broadband and multiband applications where efficiency levels should not be very low. To do this, a two-port antenna concept is introduced to design an embedded LC structure in the architecture of the antenna. Simulation results are presented in the upper part of the VHF band (80-180 MHz) and in the lower part of the UHF band (300-500 MHz).
