Abstract :
A compact CPW-fed planar monopole antenna for ultra-wideband applications is presented and investigated. The proposed antenna with a small size of 20 mm ×26 mm × 1.6 mm is composed of a staircase shaped radiating element fed by a CPW feed line, and an inverted stair-style ground. The measured results agree reasonably with the simulated ones. The proposed antenna yields a wide bandwidth ranging from 3.1 to 11.4 GHz with return loss less than -10 dB with monopole like radiation pattern and stable antenna gain.
