Abstract

This paper presents a low profile, wideband, and enhanced flat-gain monopole antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular radiating element backed by an FSS reflector. This design has a small size of 45 × 50 × 10 mm3 and provides a flat higher gain between 6.8 and 8.1 dBi from 4 to 12 GHz. Moreover, the FSS reflector demonstrates a maximum gain enhancement of 6 dB at 6 GHz due to the effectively in-phase reflection between the antenna and the FSS. Furthermore, a comparison between simulated and measured results is discussed and a comparison with other state-of-the-art antennas is presented.
