Abstract

The paper shows the gain-bandwidth limitations of traditional discrete component matching used in electrically small antennas can be overcome by implementing the impedance matching network with metasurface. The proposed metasurface can optimize maximum power transfer to electrically small antennas and achieve superior broadband performance.
