Electrically Small VHF Monopole Antenna for Mobile Handset Application using Magneto-Dielectric Material

Magneto-Dielectric Material is used for the design of an electrically small monopole antenna at the VHF band. By loading partially with MDM along with metallic parasitic element and impedance matching of non-resonant (Small) Monopole, the proposed antenna achieves a miniaturization rate factor of the height greater than 70%, a satisfactory gain for this size and 10% of impedance bandwidth are obtained.
