Abstract :
This paper presents a new conical monopole antenna combining a metallic cap, inductive posts, and a folded strip in the conical surface. A design based on this configuration is constructed and its measured lOdB return loss bandwidth is from 121 MHz to 1520 MHz and the monopole is of a height Xlf/10. This proposed antenna is firstly simulated using Ansoft´s high frequency structure simulator (HFSS).
