Abstract
A collapsible wideband monopole antenna in VHF band has been presented. The antenna has a simple structure, consisting of multiple wire elements, bound together in a flat wide strip, and all joined at their base using a conductor. The proposed antenna exhibits 3:1 VSWR bandwidth (S11< -6dB) of 25%. The height reduction achieved by the proposed antenna is 20% compared to a conventional quarter wave monopole antenna.
