In this study, expressions for the radiation quality factor Q and the input impedance seen at any terminal of a multiport antenna are derived. It is shown computationally that because of the possibility to adjust the antenna current distribution through suitable feeding/loading a multiport antenna can perform lower Qs than a similar single‐port antenna. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
