Abstract :
A new antenna structure based on a disk-loaded folded monopole antenna is presented. Its VSWR performances are equivalents to thus of the Goubau antenna for similar dimensions. The radiation pattern is monopole-like on the full bandwidth (one octave) and the manufacturing is very easy. The operation analysis based on a basic loaded folded monopole is presented and validated from a full-wave simulation tool.
