Design of Diamond Shaped Monopole Antenna for Radio Navigation, Radio Location and Satellite Services

This paper presents a diamond-shaped monopole antenna inscribed on an FR4 substrate. The proposed antenna covers a bandwidth of about 4.4875 GHz. The antenna is designed in a two-step iterative procedure. The proposed antenna is energized by the microstrip line feeding technique. The maximum achieved peak directivity and peak gain are 7.471604 dB and 5.409871 dB respectively. The antenna is designed and simulated using Ansys HFSS software from 15 GHz to 20 GHz. The antenna envelopes the applications like radio navigation, radio location, and satellite services.
