We report a new planar antenna design in the shape of a diamond. The performance of the antenna design is initially obtained through simulation, then fabricated, and its performance evaluated through experiment. Experimental characterization of the diamond‐shaped monopole antenna shows good agreement with simulation. In comparison with a simple monopole antenna, our diamond‐shaped monopole antenna features smaller geometric footprint and displays a higher bandwidth at millimeteric wave frequencies.
