Elliptical slot loaded partially segmented circular monopole antenna for super wideband application

Abstract This article inspects partially segmented circular monopole with elliptical slot for super wideband applications. Two significant characteristics of proposed antenna design are: (i) partially segmented circular monopole, notch loaded elliptical ground plane along with tapered microstrip line provides super wide bandwidth; (ii) elliptical slot in between the partially segmented circular monopole reduces the lower operating frequency (1.07 GHz–0.96 GHz), which in turn enhance the bandwidth dimension ratio (BDR). For verifying the simulated outcomes, antenna prototype is practically constructed and measured. The proposed antenna design attains frequency range from 0.96 GHz to 10.9 GHz (VSWR
