Abstract
A new low profile and broadband monopolar patch antenna is proposed. Previously, long rectangular patch antennas were proposed that had a compact structure and high gain, but these antennas were designed for broadside radiation. There are some patch antennas that achieve wide bandwidth by employing a thicker substrate. However, its profile may not be low enough for some cases that cover a very low profile space. We propose a low profile patch antenna with wide bandwidth, high gain and monopole like radiation pattern. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 9.4% and gain of 7 dBi with monopole like radiation pattern for an infinite ground plane. While for a finite ground plane bandwidth of 12.3% and gain of 5 dBi is obtained.
