Abstract
THE purpose of this correction is to correct the Q value of the passive matched monopole antenna in the above article [1]. Equations (1) and (2) in the article are correct, but a factor of 1/2 was misplaced in the MATLAB calculation script used to generate the results, leading to the incorrect Q value for passive matching. This mistake also propagated into the values of the maximum available bandwidth of the passive matched antenna. Table I shows the original values in [1] and the corrected values. The following values were used for the calculation of Q and bandwidth in Table I: a = 0.32 m and k = 2 pi/lambda = 2 pi f/c = (2 pi )(26 x 10(6))/(299792 458) asymptotic to 0.544919705707437 rad/m. In the above article [1], the same a and k values were used for the calculations and k was rounded to two decimal places in the article for easier reading (asymptotic to 0.54 rad/m). Note that the error in the Q calculation for the passive matched antenna does not impact the conclusions of the article with regard to the non-Foster matched antenna.
