The broadband characteristic of wire cone antenna is presented in this article. The size reduction of top loading wire cone antenna is done by using inductive posts and lumped resistor loading. The broadband result of frequency span from 100–800 MHz over of VSWR < 2 was obtained. The wire cone antenna with top capacitive loading and resistor loading design was fabricated, and the measured results are compared with the simulation results. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
