Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel methodology for a wideband HTS antenna of finite length placed on a dielectric substrate. A methodology used in this work is based on a moment-method techniques with Green function singularity when the field point is in the source triangle. The designed resonance frequency of our HTS antenna is 11.85 GHz. The return loss is -26 dB. The bandwidth obtained is a significant 10.6 %. Experimental measurements for a HTS antenna designed in X-band are shown to agree well with the simulated prediction.
