In this project a commercially available fluorescent tube is used as antenna. The gas inside the fluorescent tube is a mixture of argon and mercury vapor.

Antenna Design 1 was developed using single fluorescent tube to operate at 4.3 GHz frequency band. This antenna has good performances which achieved Sn<-10 dB from 4.0 GHz to 4.6 GHz frequency band. The resonate frequency of Sn = -18.1 dB and achieved omnidirectional radiation pattern with simulated gain = 2.24 dB. The performance of gain and directivity of monopole plasma antenna Design 1 has been enhanced by adding a cylindrical parabolic reflector at the back side of focusing signal which has been proposed in antenna Design 2. The antenna Design 2 achieved Sn<-10dB from 4.1 GHz to 4.7 Ghz frequency band and resonated at -38 dB. The antenna showed the directional radiation pattern result and enhancement of gain which is 7.283 dB. Antenna 1 and 2 are designed for radio altimeter device which is a part of radar in navigational applications. Monopole plasma antenna Design 3 is developed to operate at 2.4 GHz frequency band which is suitable for Wi-Fi applications. This antenna was integrated with Access Point router installed inside the casing of the antenna. Therefore, this complete set of plasma antenna was upgraded to Wi-Fi system. The antenna Design 3 achieved Sn<-10 dB 2.23 dB to 2.58 dB frequency band. The results was resonate at - 22.5 dB and showed the omnidirectional radiation pattern with gain = 1.948 dB.
