LIU et al.: HARMONIC SUPPRESSED SLOT LOOP ANTENNA FED BY CPW 1293
(1)
inside the radiating slot loop, the overall antenna size remains
unchanged. It has been shown that by properly adjusting
the coupling slot lengths, the 2nd and 3rd harmonics can be
suppressed separately or simultaneously. The principle of
harmonic suppression has been discussed, and experimental re-
sults have been presented to verify the principle. This coupling
slot technique can also be used to suppress the harmonics for
rectangular slot loop and slot dipole antennas.
