Performance and radiation patterns of aesthetic and asymmetric logo-based patch antennas

Abstract

This paper investigates microstrip patch antennas designed using aesthetic and asymmetrical logo-based shapes. A range of shapes have been considered and analyzed using electromagnetic simulations and measurements. Particular attention has been given to the radiation patterns of these asymmetric antennas.
