A microstrip-fed broadband printed monopole antenna covering 1.7 - 6.0 GHz is miniaturized using half-cut technique, and arranged in pair for uplink/downlink microwave-photonic access point. This paper discusses the effect of the miniaturization to S11 and radiation pattern of individual antenna, an...
