What is it about?
The Printed Monopole Antennas (PMA) has to feature broadband, for an application that requires reduced transmission bandwidth using narrow-band antenna array is required, the article presents a proposal to reduce the bandwidth of a PMA for the use of Bio-inspired geometry in plant of sugarcane. The article presents an antenna in microstrip Bioinspired in sugarcane plant for 4G systems operating in the 700 MHz band. The antenna structure was compared with a rectangular antenna and decreased by 90% in volume, with bandwidth and frequency of resonance within the projected range.

Why is it important?
Nature has its features optimized by millions of generations, so with the necessary adjustments you can use its structures to engineering solutions. In the case of plants, they capture electromagnetic waves (visible light), to produce energy in the process known as photosynthesis. In this way, they act as receiving antennas, so they have the geometry of its leaves optimized for the best reception and smaller dimensions.
Perspectives
The greatest desire of any researcher is that their work is used, and taken as a reference for other pesquisass. For this work my desire is to serve as a reference source for other projects in various branches of science.
