What is a Monopole Antenna?
A Monopole antenna is half the size of a dipole antenna. It was first discovered by a radio expert Guglielmo Marconi in the year 1895. He patented this antenna after one year in 1896. This radio expert was successful in performing various historical experiments in the field of radio communication. After the invention, the monopole antenna was also called as Marconi antenna. It is normally arranged above a conducting ground plane. Let us discuss the antenna in detail, its types, how it works, and the benefits of the monopole antenna. Different Types of Monopole Antenna Now, we will further discuss the various types of a monopole antenna in this section. The different kinds of monopole antennae are as under: 1. Helical antenna A helical antenna is a kind of antenna that contains one or more conducting wires wounded in a helix form. A helical antenna developed with one helical wire is called a monofil. On the other hand, helical antenna designed with 2 or more wires is known...
