Abstract

An LS Peano fractal antenna, which integrates the self-similarity and spatial filling features of fractal technology, was designed for detecting the ultra-high frequency (UHF) signals generated by gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) partial discharge (PD). Firstly, we used ANSYS HFSS to simulate and design the LS Peano fractal antenna. Then we made the antenna object according to the optimised simulation results. Finally, PD trials involving a metal protrusion defect are conducted therewith. The test results show that: the LS Peano fractal antenna has ellipsoidal directivity; the measured results indicate that the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of this antenna is less than 4.5 in the range from 300 MHz to 3 GHz, which has better PD monitoring ability; the VSWR of this antenna is less than 2 in the range from 1.1 GHz MHz to 3 GHz, which has a higher density of monitoring PD.
