Abstract :
A novel printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband applications is introduced, which consists of an annular monopole patch and a trapeziform ground plane with a tapered CPW feeder in the middle. The simulated and experimental results demonstrate that this antenna achieves a ratio impedance bandwidth of more than 10:1 for VSWR≤2, and exhibits the nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern with a simple structure.
