An elliptical monopole antenna with a wide bandwidth is proposed, which is composed of an elliptical monopole patch and a ground plane by uniting a quarter of a disc and a rectangular structure, both printed on the same side of a substrate and fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feeder.The simulated and experimental results demonstrate that this antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth covering 2.6–13.9 GHz for VSWR ≤ 2 and also shows a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern, which indicates that the proposed antenna performance is suitable for UWB applications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
