Abstract:

This investigation aims to build a brand-new Diamond Fern Fractal Antenna (DFFA) with a microstrip patch line to be utilised in car application systems. The suggested antenna is distinct from previous examples in that its patch is oriented in a manner that is intended to maximise bandwidth while simultaneously lowering return loss. The slots are inserted into the diamond patch, manufactured in this design based on an inexpensive FR-4 glass epoxy substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4 and an overall dimension of 25 by 25 by 1.6 mm 3 . In addition, it assists in the enhancement of the multiband features as well as the bandwidth, and its efficacy is tested with the assistance of design equations and HFSS simulation software. In addition, the technique for the parameter extraction of the suggested DFFA design is thoroughly explained in this paper. Compared with other methods, the DFFA constructed with 16 slots offers superior performance in improved bandwidth, impedance matching, frequency bands, and Gain.
