Abstract :
A new antenna is proposed for use in mobile communication systems. Detailed investigations are presented through the results obtained using the method of moments technique. The wire loaded monopole antenna proved many attractive features so that it is recommended to be used in hand held units. The design of the antenna considers simplicity, compact size (65% of monopole height), and low cost. It has an omnidirectional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane with a very high gain (about 6-7 times that of the monopole antenna). The input impedance can be matched with the feeding line ensuring perfect transmission of energy between the antenna and coaxial cable.
