Trade-off Between Antenna Efficiency and Q-Factor

Gustafsson, Mats LU orcid ; Capek, Miloslav LU and Schab, Kurt LU (2017)
Abstract
The trade-off between radiation efficiency and antenna bandwidth, expressed in terms of Q-factor, for small antennas is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem in current distributions of predefined support. Variants on the problem are constructed to demonstrate the consequences of requiring a self-resonant current as opposed to one tuned by an external reactance. The resulting Pareto-optimal sets reveal the relative cost of valuing low Q-factor over high efficiency, the cost in efficiency to require a self-resonant current, and other insights.
