Summary:
For the protection of antenna elements and other design reasons, an antenna generally has a cover which is made of resin. However, the characteristics of an antenna are influenced by different kinds of resin, the design of the antenna cover, and the location of antenna elements and cover. In this paper, we investigate the influence on antenna characteristics by a cover and propose a design of a planer antenna cover for optimal antenna characteristics.
