Compact Broadband Printed Monopole Antenna
Keywords:
Compact printed monopole antenna, ultra-widebandAbstract
A compact printed monopole antenna for broadband application is presented. The proposed antenna, having a total physical size of 21 × 6.5 mm consists of a patch fed by a coaxial line and an SMA connector as partial finite ground plane. The modified patch plane with a slot in its feed point helps to increase the impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna. The optimal design may offer an ultra-wide impedance bandwidth from 2.56 GHz to 20 GHz. A prototype is fabricated and tested. The agreement between the simulated and measured results is quite good.
