Hi,
How to calculate the size of the ground plane when using a monopole antenna? Is it w.r.t. the frequency that we use or the physical length of the antenna or any other factor?
I want to use a monopole antenna in 434.7 MHz transmitter and the antenna's physical length is 16 Cm. I checked the antenna with SWR meter , but it did not match for 434.7MHz, and I was told that it is a monopole antenna and needs ground plane to work. what should be the size(area or volume) of the ground plane that I should use with this antenna?
Is there any calculation for the size of the ground plane?
Thanks in advance.
