A Small Wideband Microstrip-fed Monopole Antenna
Jihak Jung, Wooyoung Choi, and Jaehoon Choi, Member, IEEE
Abstract―A small microstip-fed monopole antenna, which consists of a rectangular patch and a truncated ground plane, is presented for ultra wideband application. The proposed antenna is 10 dB. Good designed to operate over 3.1 to 11 GHz for 11 return loss and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the frequency band of interest. Index Terms―Monopole antennas, truncated ground plane, ultra wideband (UWB).
