The monocone antenna is a type of monopole antenna that has wideband characteristics. This paper proposes a low-profile monocone antenna with a planar inverted-F structure. The characteristics of the proposed antenna are analyzed through a simulation. The results demonstrate that the low-profile antenna offers wideband performance, and the relative bandwidth of VSWR ≤ 2 is found to be more than 190%. In addition, miniaturization of the monocone antenna is elucidated. The proposed antenna is prototyped, and the validity of the simulation is verified through measurements.
