The physical size and material properties of antennas are major limiting factors of the antennas performance. These limitations are usually manifested through parameters such as bandwidth, quality factor and efficiency. The presented research examines these fundamental limitations with specific focus on electrically small antennas, and a new bound for antenna efficiency is developed.The physical size and material properties of antennas are major limiting factors of the antennas performance.
