Abstract

A new antenna topology dedicated to being mounted on the horn of an adult rhino is proposed. The curved topology of the horn, the material characteristics of the horn material, mechanical aspects when being mounted, and the typical behavior of rhinos in the wild are taken into account in the design process. The results are extremely promising. It is illustrated that this antenna is much better than antennas already operational in tracking networks targeting rhinos. In this way, it may contribute to the rescue of this endangered species.
