tuPOY as a Radiating Element: Antenna

The ability of tuPOY to emit electromagnetic radiations provides a playground to envision its role in antenna and wave propagation. This chapter analyzes the radiating properties of tuPOY and its use an antenna. A prototype of a nonmetallic antenna with tuPOY as its integral part of design is developed. The novel construction of the antenna structure highlights the fact that apart from ministering its inherent objectives, tuPOY antenna emanates as a standalone power source. The proposed structure is capable of not only being self-sustaining from immanently generated power but also providing residual power for networked devices as well.
