Printed Monopole Antenna with Tree-Like Radiating Patch and Flower Vase-Shaped Modified Ground Plane Useful for Wideband Applications

A novel design for the planar monopole antenna presented in this article consists of a patch resembling a tree and a modified ground plane resembling a flower vase. The proposed antenna is planned, designed, and made by utilizing FR4 substrate. The proposed antenna contributes to a computer simulation and tested S11 bandwidth of 9.4 GHz (144.62%) and 9.3 GHz (136.76%), respectively. A peak tested gain of 6.5 dBi and peak efficiency of 77.51% have been achieved. The measured results of the fabricated antenna are compared with the simulated results and are found to be in good agreement. The proposed antenna has a low general volume of 38 × 20 × 1.6 mm3. The antenna can be used in C-band and X-band application.
