Abstract
We propose a folded monopole antenna with loads, and analyze the roles of design parameters which affect the return loss of the proposed antenna. VSWR < 3 bandwidth of the antenna is 30 ~ 2000 MHz, ranging from the HF/VHF/UHF bands. For operating travelling antenna, we connect six loads at the end of the antenna. The reflected wave is drastically reduced due to the six loads. For improved return loss properties, we use Klopfenstein tape that determine positions and values of six loads. The propose antenna has omni-directional radiational patterns like that of conventional monopole antennas. For wideband impedance transformation, we use the balun which operating frequency region is 10 ~ 1900 MHz. We expect the proposed antenna has important role for the wideband and multi-rold multi-functional communication systems.
