文摘Based on the symmetry of the structure, a two-dimensional finite difference time domain （FDTD） method is used to analyze the sleeve monopole antenna on the infinite perfect conductor ground fed by a coaxial line.

The gain or pattern of the monopole antenna is also computed, employing the combination of the image theory and the near-to-far transformation in frequency domain. All the computed results agree very well with the results of other methods and measured ones, verifying the application of the FDTD method to analyze the sleeve monopole antennas. The voltage standing wave ratio （VSWR） of the sleeve monopole antennas with different heights and radii of the sleeve are checked to study the influence of the sleeve, which indicates that the height and the radius of the sleeve are both important to the impedance bandwidth of the sleeve monopole antennas.
