Low-Profile Ultra-Broadband Log-Period Monopole End-Fire Antenna

Low-Profile Ultra-Broadband Log-Period Monopole End-Fire Antenna

This paper proposes an ultra-broadband (2–13 GHz) and low-profile log-period monopole end-fire antenna for the flush-mounted applications. 24 monopoles with a log-period rule are used to cover the whole operating frequency band, and those monopoles are printed on both sides of a low-loss dielectric...
