Abstract :
Experimental results for a wide-band L-probe fed circular patch antenna having conical-pattern radiation are presented. With an antenna thickness of ∼0.13 times the free-space wavelength of the center operating frequency, the proposed antenna can achieve a bandwidth of ∼30% and produce a monopole-like conical radiation patterns. The measured gain is in the range of 5.0∼6.5 dBi in the passband.
