Analytical Techniques and Operational Perspectives for a Spherical Inverted-F Antenna

The spherical inverted-F antenna (SIFA) is a relatively new conformal antenna design that consists of a microstrip patch resonator on a spherical ground. The SIFA resembles a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) that has been conformally recessed onto a sphere. The basic design, simulation, and fabricat...
