Abstract

This research shows a numerical simulation of the well-structured Franklin’s antenna and a proposed model with a wider frequency band. The simulation was performed by a program built using the integral equation method (the most precise method for simulating wired antennas). It has been demonstrated that the proposed model, with an induction point positioned on the shorted stub, has a better match with the feeding line than when it is fed on the central midpoint of the central dipole. All the obtained determinants are new and can be used in the design of antennas that possess an isotropic radiation pattern at the magnetic plane and a high directivity at the electric plane. The simulation program was utilized to design the automobile antenna studied at the University of Kalamoon.
