  • Abstract
    Compact antenna arrays are widely investigated in modern communication technologies. In this paper, a conceptual study of compact monopole arrays used for beamforming applications is performed. Theoretical backgrounds for the design are discussed. A three-element compact monopole array with around 0.2λ00 is the wavelength in free space) spacing operating at 2.4 GHz is modeled and simulated. Good directivity up to 8.1 dBi is achieved.
