Abstract
A recent approach to physical bounds on antennas of arbitrary shape is numerically illustrated. In particular, physical bounds for antennas circumscribed by the rectangular parallelepiped, finite cylinders, and planar rectangles are presented. The bounds are verified against numerical results for various small antennas with excellent agreement.

Experimental Validation of Performance Limits and Design Guidelines for Small Antennas

TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical performance limit for small antenna performance has been validated by all available experimental evidence and the theoretical predictions for the performance due to design factors such as permittivity, aspect ratio, and the internal structure of the antenna are also supported by the experimental evidence.

Optimal Antenna Currents for Q, Superdirectivity, and Radiation Patterns Using Convex Optimization

TL;DR: Convex optimization is used to determine current distributions that provide upper bounds on the antenna performance and formulations for maximal gain Q-Factor quotient, minimal Q-factor for superdirectivity, and minimum Q for given far-fields are presented.

Lower Bounds on the Q of Electrically Small Dipole Antennas

TL;DR: In this article, lower bounds on the quality factor (Q) of small electric and magnetic-dipole antennas were obtained for arbitrarily shaped volumes and excited by general sources or by global electric-current sources alone.

Physical Bounds and Optimal Currents on Antennas

TL;DR: In this paper, physical bounds on the directivity Q-factor quotient and optimal current distributions are determined for antennas of arbitrary shape and size using an optimization formulation, where a variational approach offers closed form solutions for small antennas expressed in the polarizability of the antenna structure.

Physical Bounds and Optimal Currents on Antennas

TL;DR: In this paper, physical bounds on the directivity Q-factor quotient and optimal current distributions are determined for antennas of arbitrary shape and size using an optimization formulation. But the results are limited to small antennas.

Fundamental Limitations of Small Antennas

H.A. Wheeler
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple formula for the more fundamental properties of small antennas and their behavior in a simple circuit is given for 1-Mc operation in typical circuits, which indicates a loss of about 35 db for the I.R.E. standard capacitive antenna, 43 db for a large loop occupying a volume of 1 meter square by 0.5 meter axial length, and 64 db for an antenna loop of 1/5 these dimensions.

Theoretical limitations on the broadband matching of arbitrary impedances

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of matching an arbitrary load impedance to a pure resistance by means of a reactive network and derived necessary and sufficient conditions for the physical realizability of a function of frequency representing the input reflection coefficient of a matching network terminated in a prescribed load impedance.

Impedance, bandwidth, and Q of antennas

TL;DR: In this article, exact and approximate expressions for the bandwidth and Q of a general single-feed (one-port) lossy or lossless linear antenna tuned to resonance or antiresonance were derived.
