Effects of Closed-Loop Devices on Omnidirectional Beam Patterns Radiated from WAVE Monopole Antennas
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article is on "Effects of Independent Closed Loop Devices on Omnidirectional Beam Patterns Radiated from WAVE Monopole Antennas".
Authors have presented their work by analyzing the effects of independent closed loop devices from WAVE monopole antennas.
1. Novelty of presented work is trivial. Significance of the work presented for WAVE applications can be explained more and authors are suggested to include novelty and significance of their work.
2. Why Omnidirectional beam patterns are only considered for investigation?
3. Only two parameters are examined: Current density/Magnetic field and gain radiation patterns. What about remaining performance parameters of monopole antenna? Are they independent of closed loop devices effects? Why their analysis is not illustrated in manuscript?
4. Gain improvement is also very low. Is that gain value sufficient for WAVE applications?
5. Abstract and conclusion can be more precise and specific. Give the comparison of simulation and experimental results.
6. Include state-of-art literature comparison with relevant works.
7. More relevant references can be included in manuscript.
8. English grammar and quality is to be improved.
9. Include complete simulation scenario of HFSS in manuscript.

Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript titled “Effects of Independent Closed Loop Devices on Omnidirectional Beam Patterns Radiated from WAVE Monopole Antennas” has certain new insights and analyses with simulation results. The paper investigates the influence of independent closed-loop devices on omnidirectional beam patterns radiated from a WAVE monopole antenna for facilitating communication stability in Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Everything technology. The paper is interesting and well-written. I recommend accepting the manuscript with minor revisions.
1- Could you explain the novelty of this research work?
2- Could you give the simulated and measured reflection coefficients obtained from monopole WAVE antenna only and monopole WAVE antenna with quadruple closed-loop devices?
3- The simulated and measured results for the whole system (Fig. 1 (c) and (d)) are missing, and it is advised to add and discuss the results.
