Abstract
A distributed load monopole antenna system is disclosed that includes a monopole antenna comprising a radiation resistance unit coupled to a transmitter base, an adjustment unit, a current enhancing unit and a conductive mid-section. The radiation resistance unit includes a radiation resistance unit base that is coupled to ground, and includes a plurality of windings of an electrically conductive material. The adjustment unit is coupled to at least one of the plurality of windings of the radiation resistance unit, and is coupled to ground for selectively adjusting an operating frequency of the antenna. The current enhancing unit is for enhancing current through the radiation resistance unit, and the conductive mid-section is intermediate the radiation resistance unit and the current enhancing unit.
