Abstract :
This paper presents a dual band surface wave antenna that radiates a monopole like pattern. The monopole like radiation pattern is realized by the diffractions of the surface waves, and the dual band operation is achieved using a modified cross strip feed with split branches. The return loss and the radiation patterns are presented to demonstrate the antenna characteristics
