Abstract

For manufacturing an antenna there is first defined a meandering shape. A simulated current distribution is determined for a conductive line having said meandering shape. First and second segments of said meandering shape are identified, at which said simulated current distribution exhibits first and second currents respectively, so that a vector sum of said first and second currents is essentially zero. A bend containing said first and second segments is replaced with a direct connection in said meandering shape, thus producing a pruned meandering shape. The antenna will have a radiating antenna element that has a shape equal to said pruned meandering shape.
