Abstract:
A directional planar monopole antenna is described. The antenna comprises of a circular monopole, coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed line and a ground plane. To achieve unidirectional radiation, a stub is also attached to on the ground plane to increase the lower end impedance bandwidth and also increase the Front-to-Back ratio (F/B). The proposed antenna is etched on a 50 × 50 mm2 FR4 substrate. Simulated and experimental results reveal that the proposed antenna can achieve an impedance bandwidth from 2.3 - 10.5 GHz for S11 < -10 dB, and unidirectional radiation patterns with high gain and high efficiency.

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
