The effect of a finite ground plane on Peano monopole antenna is investigated. Simulated and measured data indicate that when the size of ground plane decreases, impedance bandwidth and gain of the antenna will decrease, H-plane pattern will change little, 3-dB beam width will become wider and elevation angle will be smaller in E-plane. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
