                  3.2.4  Case 4: A Broadband Monopolar
                  Antenna for Indoor Coverage
                  In this section, a broadband monopolar antenna is presented. It has a
                  wide impedance bandwidth of 62% for a SWR < 1.5, ranging from 1.48
                  to 2.81 GHz. It possesses nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns over
                  the bandwidth. Moreover, it has a moderate peak gain of 6.1 dBi. Due
                  to these features, it is very suitable for the modern multiband indoor
                  mobile communication systems.
