A planar monopole antenna suitable for broadband wireless communication is designed and developed. With the use of a truncated ground plane, the proposed printed monopole antenna offers nearly 60% 2:1 VSWR bandwidth and good radiation characteristics for the frequencies across the operating band. A parametric study of the antenna is performed based on the optimized design, and a prototype of the antenna suitable for 2.4‐GHz WLAN application is presented. The antenna can be easily integrated into wireless circuitry and is convenient for application in laptop computers. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
