Abstract :
In this paper, the miniaturization of a printed circular disc monopole antenna is investigated. It is shown that by halving the original antenna and adjusting the coplanar ground plane width, an even wider impedance bandwidth at the lower end can be obtained. Furthermore, a clear physical explanation is provided to illustrate the mechanism of this type of half circular disc antenna.
