Abstract

A new design of non-planar magneto-electric monopole antenna is proposed and presented. This antenna consists of a novel design of electric monopole with dual Ί shaped feed line design and possesses 61.5% impedance bandwidth, from 4.5 GHz-8.5 GHz. The antenna exhibits stable omnidirectional radiation pattern with almost identical E-plane and H-plane radiation patterns and also provides a peak gain of 7.4 dBi. Due to its good electrical characteristics and radiation parameters, the antenna has great capability to operate in C band, to overcome the challenges of multi-frequency applications.
