Abstract
Single element piezoelectric antennas may be efficient but low power radiators. Single element piezoelectric antennas are limited by the mechanical strength of the piezoelectric material. In other words, the element can only be driven to a point until the element breaks. Even at this limit, the radiated power levels of the single element piezoelectric antennas may not be sufficient for practical transmission. The elements in the piezoelectric antennas may be arranged in a colinear dipole array to scale the radiated power level.
