Abstract :
The characteristics of a meander dual zigzag wire monopole antenna are described. The antenna provides low height and broad-band performance. Measured voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) and pattern characteristics are compared with a conventional, straight-wire monopole over a 3:1 bandwidth.
