A novel broadband monopole antenna is proposed and experimentally studied by using coplanar waveguide feed. By embedding properly U-shaped slot in the rectangular monopole antenna and adding two strips in the bottom of the monopole antenna, the impedance bandwidth, determined from 10-dB return loss, can reach about 60.0% for the monopole antenna operating at GPS/IMT2000/WLAN bands. IE3D and Ansoft simulation software are used to identify with the measured results. Details of the proposed broadband design are described, and experimental results of the constructed prototypes are presented and discussed.
