The performance profile comparison of the quasi-lumped element resonator antenna is presented. The specific advantages of this antenna are investigated by comparing it to the standard long wire antenna approach, and, in particular, also to the many available differently loaded wire antenna approaches, which are also optimized for maximal radiation efficiency and directivity for example, the capacitively loaded long wire antenna and the planar H-shaped elements loaded transmission line design. It was noted that the quasi-lumped element resonator antenna formed by small interdigital capacitors and line inductors proved to be compact in size with an aperture size of 5.8 × 5.6 mm2 and better directional characteristics. © 2015 The Chinese Institute of Engineers.
