Abstract :
A small broadband disc-loaded monopole antenna with a probe feed and folded stripline is presented. The antenna is composed of a rectangular disc with multiple shorting pins and a probe feed with a folded stripline that are coupled electromagnetically. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are 12×12×10 mm, and it has a measured impedance bandwidth of 700 MHz for VSWR <2 with a centre frequency at 2.54 GHz, which is approximately 27.5% of a fractional bandwidth.
