Abstract

A novel scalable low-profile omnidirectional antenna that can be integrated underneath a solar panel is presented. The topology alleviates the effect of solar panel to the antenna while achieving a monopole-like radiation performance above a ground plane. A 72×72× 11.5 mm$³ solar antenna 3-D structure operating around 2.4 GHz demonstrates the potential of the presented configuration for the implementation of autonomous integrated wireless sensors nodes.
