Description
Summary:A stepped cylindrical antenna with a higher-order mode ring patch for wideband conical radiation pattern is proposed. To accomplish a low profile with wideband conical radiation characteristics, a stepped cylindrical monopole and a TM41 higher-order mode ring patch with four shorting pins are utilized. The proposed antenna has a monopole-like radiation pattern with a wide 10-dB return loss bandwidth of 11 GHz (2 GHz–13 GHz). It can cover various wireless services, such as wireless broadband (WiBro; 2.3 GHz–2.39 GHz), wireless local area networks (WLAN; 2.4 GHz–2.484 GHz, 5.15 GHz–5.35 GHz, and 5.725 GHz–5.875 GHz), digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB; 2.63 GHz–2.655 GHz), and ultra wideband (UWB; 3.1 GHz–10.6 GHz). The antenna has a height of only 0.12λ0 at 2 GHz.
