Monopole antenna

Monopole antenna


The monopole antenna is located on an infinite ground plane. There are two differences with respect to the previous case:



Create a line with extremities at : (0 0 0) and (0 0 0.25)


Define the voltage source at the first point (0 0 0)



To define the perfect ground plane : select to open the particular planes window.



To check the proper location of the plane, click on Visualization and "View Symmetry planes/Ground



Set the frequency to 300 MHz


Assign an antenna property to the wire to define the radius (same default radius value as in the previous example : 5 mm).


Generate the Mesh, Save and Run Icare



Computed far field pattern (above ground only) :




The computed input impedance (half the value of the dipole input impedance) :
