ULTRA-WIDEBAND MONOPOLE ANTENNA WITH MODIFIED TRIANGULAR PATCH

This article presents the results of a novel triangular monopole antenna that exhibits multioctave performance. This modification significantly improves the antenna's impedance bandwidth by 158% over an ultra-wideband frequency. The antenna's simulated return loss and radiation patterns show very good correlation with the fabricated antenna's measured results. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
