... wavelength long vertical element. Therefore, the monopole antenna on the ground plane can be modeled as a half-wave dipole using the method of images [14]. In this case, the ground plane prevents monopole radiation into the hemisphere below the ground plane, but allows a radiation pattern identical to that of a dipole in the upper hemisphere [2]. Fig. 3 shows the quarter-wave monopole on the ground and its quarter-wave image forming a half-wave dipole. The bold dotted curved line represents the current distribution throughout the length of the antenna. We can write the expression for current distribution for the vertical elements as Now the magnetic field intensity in the radiation ...

Antenna is an essential component of telecommunication devices. Recently, the antenna has been used as a receiver in the rectenna solar cells as well as a vital component of cellular mobile telecommunications. The power of the received signal may depend on the physical shape of the monopole receiving antenna. The optimization of antenna's geometry is essential to improve the antenna performance as a receiver. It is widely accepted that the physical length of the monopole antenna; with one fourth of the incident wavelength; possesses an optimal efficiency. In the current study, a power equation based on a recently modified electromagnetic (EM) wave theory has been derived. The proposed formula has been used to calculate the optimum length of the monopole antenna to optimize the received power by the antenna. The angle between the direction of the antenna's plane corresponding to the direction of the propagation of the EM wave has been considered. some experimental investigations have been considered to confirm our theoretical investigations. In our experiment, the output voltage has been considered as a good indication of the harvested energy of the monopole antenna.
... The commercial traditional receivers employ vertically polarized telescopic whip antennas, which receive signals from all directions with equal density since a monopole antenna provides an omnidirectional radiation pattern (Khan, Azim and Islam, 2014). As a result, a telescopic whip antenna cannot distinguish the desired signal from the interference, as both penetrate into the receiver despite arriving from different directions. ...
... The result showed that the larger the ground plane, the lower the direction of maximum radiation and as the ground plane approaches infinite size, the radiation pattern approaches maximum in the x-y plane. The authors in [8] analyzed the Radiation Characteristics of a Quarter-Wave Monopole Antenna above Virtual Ground. Analysis of the result shows that, for the case of the quarter-wave monopole antenna, twice the gain of a dipole antenna of half-wavelength long was achieved and the value of radiation resistance of the monopole is half of that of a dipole. ...
This paper presents the performance analysis of a Full-wave Loop Antenna and a Quarter Wave Monopole Antenna. The Radiation Patterns of the two antennas were generated using the Lab-Volt Antenna Measurement System with a view to evaluating the Half Power Beam width, Directivity and Directive Gains of the two antennas. The directivity of the quarter wave monopole antenna was found to be 4.6dB which is almost twice 2.43dB of the full-wave loop antenna. Also, the directive gain of the quarter wave monopole antenna was found to be 1.96 dB higher than that of the full-wave loop antenna which was found to be-0.22dBd.

... The impedance bandwidth of a thin monopole can be increased by changing the wire element geometry, for example by thickening or meandering the wire element or adding some loading. The design of monopole antenna in the shape of top-hat, dielectric loaded, discone, caged and various loaded monopoles are discussed [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. But these elements tend to be bulky and occupy a relatively large physical volume. ...

This study reports a novel technique utilising a standing-wave node as a virtual ground to implement an impedance matching network and power level tuning in a ground eliminated (GE) open-ended resonant coil structure. This technique with GE open-ended coils can potentially be used in wireless power transmission (WPT) systems, where an unknown metallic, ungrounded, arbitrary environment is used as a signal propagation medium to deliver electric power to several distributed nodes. To satisfy WPT standards the proposed resonant WPT system with the matching network is implemented and tested at 13.56 MHz. A comprehensive study of the GE open-ended resonant coil structure demonstrates ground-plane effects and the necessity of an impedance matching network in no-ground signal situations. The experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis presenting 9% improvements in mismatch efficiency, and 13.1 times in power transmission efficiency at 13.56 MHz when the matching network is deployed.
