Abstract :
A novel compact ultra-wideband (UWB) printed monopole loaded with a dielectric resonator (DR) antenna is proposed. The antenna consists of a microstrip fed monopole printed on a substrate with a truncated ground plane loaded with a DR. The bandwidth is enhanced by making an inner groove inside the DR and controlling the slot width of the truncated ground.
