Abstract :
The printed heart monopole antenna with bandwidth larger than 10 GHz has been proposed. In the case, the impedance bandwidth of about 137% has been obtained. The impedance bandwidth and peak gain obtained for the proposed antenna is better than the printed circular disc monopole antenna. And, the size of the proposed antenna is also smaller than the printed circular disc monopole antenna
