Abstract
A small broadband monopole antenna including a shorted patch and a probe with a strip line that are electromagnetically coupled with each other. The probe with a strip line has a length of about λ/4, where λ is a wavelength. The strip line may be one of a spiral type, a folded type and a helix type. A resonance frequency of the antenna can be adjusted by varying the inductance and the capacitance of the resonance circuits. In addition, a double-band antenna or a single-band antenna having a broad bandwidth can be designed in accordance with application purpose of the antenna.
