Abstract
The influence of material coverings on the antenna quality factor is investigated for radiators formed by thin electric or magnetic line sources. It is shown that thin uniform and symmetric layers of arbitrary passive materials (including Veselago, left-handed, or double-negative materials) cannot help to overcome the bandwidth limitations imposed by the amount of energy stored in the antenna reactive field. Alternative possibilities offered by complex composite materials in the antenna design are identified.
