Abstract :
A novel multiple meander strip monopole antenna is presented. By iteratively meandering the vertical strip, compactness and broadband characteristics for the monopole antenna were achieved simultaneously. The designed monopole antenna with a radiation element volume of 14×14×14 mm3 has the measured bandwidth ratio of 3.87:1, from 2.83 to 10.96 GHz for VSWR≤2, with fairly frequency-insensitive omni-directional radiation characteristics.
