Abstract
When a shorting pin is added to the planar monopole antenna, an additional mode is excited below the fundamental mode. By optimising the dimensions. A compact wideband antenna can be constructed. The size reduction achievable for this antenna is ~50% compared with an equivalent planar monopole without a shorting pin. Owing to its compact size and wideband performance, this antenna is suitable for use in existing and future mobile communication terminals
