Abstract
A newly developed antenna comprising series-fed printed strip dipoles is de scribed. The effect of substrate permittivity on the radiation properties o f the antenna is investigated, using an analysis model based on the general concept of the equivalent radius of cylindrical antennas. An antenna with a gain of > 9dB and VSWR less than or equal to 1.5 over the frequency range 1.8-2.2 GHz is presented.
