Title :
Wideband matching of a small disk-loaded monopole - Friedman’s antenna revisited
Author_Institution :
South Carolina Univ., Columbia, SC
Abstract :
This study has developed a two-layer printed circuit feed system that was analyzed with WIPL-D and has shown to achieve almost the same wideband character. As opposed to Friedman and Gouobau DLMs, the printed circuit feed system offers a low-cost alternative with similar performance.
