In this article, a novel printed monopole antenna with folded stepped impedance resonator (SIR) loading is proposed, designed and fabricated with a standard printed circuit board process. The antenna comprises of a printed monopole antenna and a folded SIR with internal coupling etched on the back of the antenna. By loading this folded SIR as a near-field resonant parasitic (NFRP) element, the resonant frequency of the antenna can be reduced by the strong coupling between the folded SIR and the radiation patch of the printed monopole. After reviewing the theoretical analysis of the proposed printed monopole antenna, a prototype antenna has been fabricated and measured. The simulated results agree well with the measured results, and the prediction performance of the antenna is verified. Therefore, the proposed method in this article is a promising candidate for printed monopole antenna design.
