Physical bounds on small antennas as convex optimization problems

Convex optimization is used to determine the upper bound on G/Q for arbitrarily shaped antennas. The new formulation generalizes previous bounds and can include power dissipated in the antenna. The results are illustrated with a numerical example for planar rectangles.
