ABSTRACT In this letter, an antenna design method based on control of current distribution is presented. By adjusting the current distributions using reactive elements, the antenna can couple differently with the ground plane, achieving different performances. When the antenna is located in the ground plane where the electric field is strong, monopole‐type current distributions are preferred to loop‐type current distributions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
