A Compact Rectangular Monopole Antenna with Enhanced Bandwidth.

Abstract

A Compact rectangular monopole antenna with enhanced bandwidth is presented.Achieved percentage bandwidth is 79.37% , ranging from 5.228GHz to 12.248GHz for VSWR<2.Proposed antenna comprises a radiating rectangular patch of size 7mm X 8mm , finite ground plane of size 15mm X 7mm , antenna is feed with 50 microstrip feed line of dimension 3.04mm X 7.6mm .The total size of proposed antenna is 15mm X 15.6mm X 1.59mm(W X L X h) is designed and simulated using ZELAND IE3D simulation software with FR4 substrate of dielectric constant value 4.4 with loss tangent 0.02.
