Abstract :
The authors present the development of wideband network models for practical monopoles in both free space and parallel plate structures. The models are demonstrated for practical monopole realizations in the 3-20-GHz frequency range. The synthesis technique, which utilizes precision measured data and nonlinear weighted least-squares estimation, has been shown to provide accurate network models for monopole antennas in free space and in a parallel plate structure.<>
