| Popis: | This paper describes the concept and a sample design of a broadband loaded monopole antenna with a novel matching network integrated with the antenna body. The proposed monopole antenna is designed by loading three different lumped loads integrated on a wire antenna and a simple input matching network. Parameters of the matching circuits and the lumped loads optimized by using a genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed antenna loads and the matching network is integrated into the antenna body by the use of printed circuit technology making the antenna fabrication process easy. A prototype of the proposed 1.19-meter monopole antenna is fabricated and measured. The simulation and measurement results show that the proposed antenna operates in the frequency band of 30–600 MHz with VSWR less than 2.5 and the realized gain better than −10 dBi. |
