Abstract

The design of a compact coplanar waveguide‐fed monopole antenna partially surrounded and coupled by a folded ground strip is presented. By properly tuning the gap between the monopole antenna and the ground strip, it is able to operate in the 5‐GHz band for wireless application. From the experimental results, a resonant mode excited at around 5.5 GHz is observed with 10‐dB bandwidth measured from 4.88 to 6.3 GHz. Good radiation patterns with near omnidirectional pattern in the azimuth plane are also observed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
