Description
Summary:Fractal antenna technology has currently been applied to the design of multiband antennas to provide a solution to the needs of nowadays telecommunication market trend. The Sierpinski gasket antenna was the first example of multiband fractal shaped antenna. Fractal antennas have the characteristic of radiating in multiple frequencies through the property of self-similarity that fractal shapes possess. By connecting fractal shaped antennas, wideband coverage can be achieved. Microstrip patch antennas with Sierpinski fractal geometry can be tuned, by design, to work exactly at the bands of interest, through judicious choice of the fractal designs and iteration. Therefore, the intention of this project is to design a broad-band dual-frequency microstrip patch antenna with modified Sierpinski fractal geometry by using Microwave Office 2002 simulation software. The broad-band and multiple frequency characteristics of fractal antennas will be demonstrated. The performance of microstrip patch antenna with the classic and modified Sierpinski fractal geometries will be presented
