A biomimetic antenna in the shape of a bat’s ear
This letter presents a novel antenna that physically
resembles the ear of a bat. The device consists of a circular ground
plane with a central monopole element. An equilateral triangular
conducting plate is curved around the ground so that the base of
the triangle is electrically connected to the perimeter of the circle
and is of the same length. The input characteristic is similar to the
monopole above ground, providing there are a sufficient number of
modes in the triangular plate at the frequency of interest. Certain
frequencies yield a high gain and a radiation pattern with low side
lobes.
