Abstract
Aims of this study are to design a simple and compact microstrip-fed Ultra Wide Band (UWB) printed fractal antenna and analyze the performance of the antenna for different iterations. A second iteration of a triangle patch antenna is proposed to perform UWB. Based on the result, the proposed antenna occupies about 6.73 GHz bandwidth covering 3.52-10.24 GHz. The bandwidth is increased about 54.15% for the first iteration of proposed antenna and 69.5% increased for second iteration. A radiation pattern in H-plane and E-plane is also obtained. H-plane of radiation pattern is performed as omni directional and E-plane perfomed like a dipole antenna. Coplanar wave guide is approached to obtain ultra wideband.
Highlights
Fractal technique is adopted to improve the bandwidth of the antenna in comparison to its non fractal counterpart (Anirban et al, 2013)
The fractal antenna has the advantage on enhancing bandwidth, it can be used in Ultra Wideband Ultra Wide Band (UWB) application (Mohammad et al, 2013), besides the multi-fractal antenna has better impedance bandwidth and return loss characteristics than the conventional antenna was proposed in Basil et al (2013)
The Koch-like sided Sierpinski multi-fractal antenna fractal techniques are been incorporated in the patch to obtain the multi-fractal UWB antenna that achieved an operating bandwith ranging from 3.84-5.7 GHz
Summary
Fractal technique is adopted to improve the bandwidth of the antenna in comparison to its non fractal counterpart (Anirban et al, 2013). Many types of fractal antenna have been proposed such as Sierpinski, Koch and Minskowki geometry for wireless applications (Puente et al, 2000).
