Highlights

  • The impressive growth in the existing wireless communication systems and services has imposed additional requirements on the related antennas to be miniaturized and multiband [1]

  • Patch and printed dipoles antennas based on fractal curves such as Cantor, Sierpinski, Peano, Koch, Minkowski, and other fractal based structures have paid the attention of the designers to realize miniaturized antennas with multiple resonances for a wide variety of wireless communication applications

  • The monopole antennas with their radiating elements based on the 2nd and the 3rd iteration Koch fractal geometry have been modeled to resonate at 2.4 GHz

Summary

Introduction

The impressive growth in the existing wireless communication systems and services has imposed additional requirements on the related antennas to be miniaturized and multiband [1]. Fractal geometries have two unique properties, the space-filling, and self-similarity These features are successfully adopted by the researchers to design highly miniaturized microstrip and printed antennas with dual-band and multiband performance. Patch and printed dipoles antennas based on fractal curves such as Cantor, Sierpinski, Peano, Koch, Minkowski, and other fractal based structures have paid the attention of the designers to realize miniaturized antennas with multiple resonances for a wide variety of wireless communication applications. Sierpinski, [1011], and Peano, [12,13,14], fractal geometries have been successfully applied to generate antenna structures based on Euclidean geometries such as the circle, triangle, and others, to produce dual-band and multiband antennas with a compact size to meet the requirements of the recently available communication services. The radiating elements of the presented antennas are derived from the typically printed square patch with its sides modified in the form of the 2nd and the 3rd iteration Koch fractal curve
