Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, the design and analysis of a complementary Sierpinski Knopp fractal antenna are presented. It is realized by applying the Sierpinski Knopp space-filling curve on the basic square monopole antenna. The performance metrics of the antenna such as S11 (reflection coefficient), voltage standing wave ratio, radiation pattern, gain and current distribution at resonant frequencies are analyzed by using ANSYS Electronic Desktop software package. FR4 dielectric material is used as a substrate in which the radiating element of an antenna is printed. Vector network analyzer and anechoic chamber are used for measuring the fabricated antenna in order to validate the simulated data. The proposed antenna resonates at three frequencies that are 2.08, 4.93, and 6.46 GHz with a reflection coefficient of −20.5, −23.1, and −24.3 dB, respectively. The suggested antenna covers the frequency bands for mobile satellite service, Public Protection and Disaster Relief communication devoted to the emergency management system and INSAT C band applications.
