Abstract
Rather than using antennas tuned to operate in certain predefined frequency bands under predefined radio systems at the time of manufacture, which limits the possibilities of implementing new radio systems on a reconfigurable terminal, a wideband antenna was proposed. The use of a single antenna which can operate over many octaves was very desirable for future wireless communication systems. Thus, the addition of a second planar element orthogonal to the planar monopole improves the radiation pattern stability without degrading the ultrawideband impedance characteristics.
