Abstract

This paper design on plasma monopole antenna and to prove that a plasma column has been characterized as an antenna. The dimension of the antenna in this project is length of the plasma column l= 150mm, the radius of plasma column r = 5.2mm and the ground for this antenna using an aluminum. The radius for circular aluminum is 40mm. The frequency target range 550MHz until 600MHz. This frequency can be applied in ultra high frequency (UHF). In this project, the simulation is performed by using the simulation software Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio which is a commercially available electromagnetic simulator based on finite difference time domain technique. The performance of the designed antenna was analyzed in term of bandwidth, gain, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and radiation pattern.
