Abstract :
Operation principle of a dual-band loop-monopole composite antenna is investigated in detail. The prototype antenna under investigation is composed of two monopoles and a sectored loop. Each mode of the antenna is numerically studied by analyzing its surface current distribution and radiation pattern. It is shown that the antenna has three operation modes.
