Very small planar broadband monopole antenna with hybrid trapezoidal–elliptical radiator

A compact and broadband printed monopole antenna (PMA) with a hybrid trapezoidal–elliptical radiator is proposed. An overlap region between the trapezoidal and elliptical patches is introduced to enhance the impedance bandwidth. Meanwhile, by etching two symmetrical quarter-elliptical slots on the g...

Zusammenfassung:A compact and broadband printed monopole antenna (PMA) with a hybrid trapezoidal–elliptical radiator is proposed. An overlap region between the trapezoidal and elliptical patches is introduced to enhance the impedance bandwidth. Meanwhile, by etching two symmetrical quarter-elliptical slots on the ground plane and optimising the ellipticity ratio, further improvement in the impedance bandwidth is achieved. Measured results show that the antenna can cover the frequency range of 2.4–18.6 GHz (|S11|
