We designed a planar monopole antenna with an impedance matching part and two rectangular parasitic elements. Parasitic elements significantly increased radiation bandwidth and gain. Measured fractional bandwidth and maximum gain for the case with parasitic elements were 129.9% and 5.67 dB, respectively. Antenna operated between 675 MHz and 3177.5 MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
