A novel inductively loaded monopole for future ultra-wide- band (UWB) applications is presented. The antenna is compact and of small size (16mm £ 20mm £ 0:8mm), and ofier a very simple geometry suitable for low cost fabrication and straight forward printed circuit board integration. More speciflcally, the impedance matching of the classic printed inductively loaded monopole is improved by employment of the tapered microstrip feed line between K-connector and the printed monopole. By using this technique, impedance bandwidth (S11 < i10dB) from 3.03GHz to over 40GHz is obtained. Measured and simulated return loss curves are provided along with radiation patterns and gains, as a function of frequency. Compared to the recently reported UWB antennas, the presented antenna have smallest size, widest bandwidth, and simple conflguration to realize the application in UWB communication systems. Furthermore, symmetric radiation patterns and satisfactory gains make the presented antenna a suitable candidate for practical UWB applications.
