In this paper, various shapes of planar monopole antenna on different ground plane structures are presented. It is designed for the 1-2 GHz frequency band for L-band application. A monopole of square, circular, triangular and hexagon shape is mounted vertically on the dielectric of glass epoxy (FR4 lossy substrate) with relative permittivity of 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm above the ground plane through a single feeding strip. Simulation results such as impedance bandwidth, directivity, gain and radiation pattern are also analyzed and compared. The effect of feeding strip is a critical parameter for the performance of antenna, is studied for various shapes of monopole antenna are investigated. The radiation performance is also shown to be acceptable over a wide range of frequency.
A printed rectangular monopole antenna (PRMA) with coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed is designed for wideband dual frequency application. A proposed monopole antenna which has a size of 31.9 x 33 mm2, is fabricated to work on a substrate (FR4 lossy) that has the relative permittivity of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm with CPW-fed in the frequency range of 6 - 16 GHz. Simulation results such as impedance bandwidth are presented and discussed. Simulation results have been verified with good agreement. The parameters which affect the performance of the antenna characteristics are investigated in this paper.
