Abstract :
In this paper, design and development of broadband blade monopole antenna covering 0.5-1.5 GHz is presented with simulated and measured results. Blade monopole antennas are preferred antenna configurations for airborne platforms due to lower drag offered by them. The basic antenna element configuration is optimized by simulation studies using CST Microwave Suitetrade EM simulation software.
