Abstract :
This correspondence presents a top loaded dual sleeve antenna with a substantially small ground plane for broad band applications. The impedance and radiation properties of the monopole were investigated numerically and experimentally. The antenna features excellent radiation characteristics within a broad impedance bandwidth of 4.2:1, covering 0.5-2.1 GHz
