Abstract:
A monopole antenna fed with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) operating at 900MHz is pr esented in the paper, in which the central conductor strip of the CPW is used as the monopole to transmit power and the conductor ground of the CPW is used as a reflector. The monopole antenna has a very simple and compact configuration. Ho wever, the dimension of the CPW impacts strongly on the performance of the anten na because they are not in effective isolation. The antenna fed by a CPW with di fferent dimensions is investigated numerically and experimentally. And the desig n of the antenna with a given dimension of a CPW operating at 900 MHz is demonst rated.
