Planar triangular monopole antenna with multioctave bandwidth

This article presents the results of a novel triangular monopole antenna that exhibits multioctave performance. This modification significantly improves the antenna's impedance bandwidth by 167% over an ultrawideband frequency. The antenna's simulated return-loss and radiation patterns show very good correlation with the fabricated antenna's measured results. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
