Abstract:
In this paper a compact fractal monopole antenna for ultra wideband application is proposed with microstrip feed technique. This paper describes the design and simulation of novel triangular shape fractal antenna using Ansoft Designer. The fractal structure generates multiple frequencies and increases the bandwidth of the patch antenna. Fractal antenna gives better performance in terms of return loss, efficiency and directivity. The proposed antenna is designed on an inexpensive FR4 Epoxy substrate of thickness 1 mm and a dielectric constant of 4.4. Theoretical analysis done by Ansoft Designer reveals that the structure resonates at 7.6 GHz and has an Ultra wide bandwidth of 4.21 GHz
