This article proposes a novel balance‐fed disc‐slit monopole antenna for modern wireless systems.The compact antenna is realized by merging a single‐ended disc‐slit monopole antenna with a defected‐ground balun. The resulting antenna has the special merits of high immunity against electromagnetic interference from nearby circuits and less sensitivity to size variation of the corresponding ground plane. A prototype was created and examined, and the results obtained demonstrate the promising performance of the newly proposed antenna. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
