Practically, (8) is evaluated at frequencies that are higher than all
resonant frequencies of the parallel resonant sections such that the
slope of the real part of the input impedance of the antenna versus
frequency as shown in Fig. 3, becomes negligible.
In order to estimate f0, i , Q0, i and R0, i for each parallel resonant
section in Fig. 1, we assume that these parameters are such that at
f = f0,i , the contribution of the remaining parallel sections in (4)
is negligible so that the radiation resistance and Q-factor of the ith
radiating mode can be approximated by (9) and (10), respectively.
