Abstract

This paper presents a novel method to improve the working bandwidth and radiation intensity of piezoelectric antenna by using external circuit. This method makes the piezoelectric antenna combined with roles of high radiation intensity and multiple resonant frequencies without changing the structural size of the piezoelectric antenna. The experimental results show that, compared with the original piezoelectric antenna, the tuning range of the resonant frequency of the piezoelectric antenna caused by the series capacitance and inductance is +13.6 and −24%, respectively. The series inductance will produce new resonance frequency, which provides a new method for the multi-band operation of the piezoelectric antenna. The LLC (series and parallel circuit) composite circuit can increase the number of resonant frequencies of the piezoelectric antenna from 1 to 3, and the S11 at the resonant frequencies are all lower than −10 dB, and the radiated magnetic field of the piezoelectric antenna is increased by 42.3% at least. This method makes the piezoelectric antenna have the dual functions of high radiation intensity and multi-band, which has great significance for broadening the application field of piezoelectric antenna.
