Abstract :
A modified printed square monopole antenna with semicircular base has been proposed, which gives ultra-wide bandwidth ratio of 11.31:1. A frequency-dependent design curve, for the microstrip feedline, is presented for this modified configuration. Experiments have been performed to measure impedance bandwidth and radiation patterns of the monopole, which are in agreement with the simulated results
