Abstract :
A printed open-circuit monopole coupled loop antenna (MCLA) operating around 425 MHz is proposed in this communication. This antenna is an evolution of the MCLA, where meander lines have been added. It achieves to a very compact antenna operating in UHF. The theoretical and measurement results are presented.
