Abstract
A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna is proposed. Multiple trapezoids and a semicircle are connected to form the patch of the monopole. The compact antenna not only has low return loss, but also has omni-directional radiation pattern over the ultra-wide bandwidth. Both the simulated and measured results are given and they are in reasonable agreement. The group delay, which is an indication of linearity between two proposed antennas, is also good. Parametric analysis on the patch shape has been performed to give some helpful design information.
