Compact and Wideband Cylindrically Conformed Printed Elliptical Monopole Antenna with Modified-Shape Ground Plane

A compact and wideband cylindrically conformed antenna with a printed monopole structure is presented in this paper. The monopole consists of two parallel slots. Simulation results show that the antenna achieved an impedance bandwidth (S11?-10db) of 6.3 Ghz (6.1-12.4 Ghz) and percentage bandwidth of 68%. The proposed antenna shows omni-directional radiation pattern over the complete operating bandwidth. Simulations are done with different curvature of conformal antenna and with different substrate material. Radiation results have been simulated by using simulation software Ansoft HFSS Ver13.
