Abstract
SummaryThis article analyses a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) fractal koch surface (FKS) slot antenna performance for Ka‐band applications. This FKS slot shape is obtained by modifying the conventional rectangular slot with the first iteration of the FKS method. The resultant FKS slot behaves as a radiator in the provided space. A single‐ and two‐element FKS slotted SIW antenna characteristics are analysed on a 20 mil thick RT/Duroid 5880 substrate and compared with the conventional rectangular slot. The proposed antenna with dimensions mm3 achieves an impedance bandwidth from 27.4 to 32.1 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 15.79% and achieves a gain of 8.3 dBi in broadside direction by improving space filling factor in SIW structure. The prototype of the SIW‐fed FKS slotted antenna array measurement results is satisfactory with the simulation results.
