Research on Plasma Monopole Antenna and its Wideband Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

A kind of wideband plasma monopole antenna is proposed, such as circular plasma monopole antenna based on circular monopole theory. The impedance and radiation characteristics of this antenna are simulated. The results show that the band width with return loss below-10dB of the circular plasma monopole antenna can get 123%.
