radiation pattern is presented. Although compact and simple structure of the planar
antennas made them a good candidate in UWB applications, due to unwanted current
distribution on the ground section, they suffer from transient distortion and radiation pattern
rotation in different frequencies. To alleviate this effect, a metallic staircase plane is placed in
the bottom of the substrate. In addition, a mushroom-like electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) …
In this study, an ultra-wideband (UWB) microstrip-fed planar monopole antenna with stable
radiation pattern is presented. The antenna structure consists of a circular disk as a radiator
element and a rectangular ground plane. The antenna is fed by a microstrip line. Although
small size and simplicity of planar antennas made them a good candidate for UWB
application, they usually suffer from radiation pattern rotation in different frequencies. This
effect can be alleviated using some compensating current distribution. To create the desired …
