Abstract :
A novel modified planar monopole coupled loop antenna (MCLA) operating around 440 MHz is proposed. This antenna has the advantage of widening the 10 dB return loss bandwidth (15.3%) by using a mutual electromagnetic coupling effect between a short-circuited half-loop antenna and an open circuited printed arc monopole line. The obtained results are compliant with simulations.
