In the proposed paper, a uniplanar asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) fed antenna with closed V-shaped radiating patch of size  printed on FR4 substrate with loss tangent ( =0.02, height (h)=1.6mm, and dielectric constant of 4.4 covering WiMAX, X-band and WLAN applications is presented. The proposed closed V-shaped radiating patch is formed by joning two rectangular stubs. The resultant shape of the radiating patch is obtained by adding rectangular strips to feed line until desired multiband results are achieved.  The advantage of this structure is that it forms simple configuration as well as helps the overall antenna in attaining three distinict useful frequency band with good impedance matching for S11-10 dB criteria. The proposed ACS fed antenna operates at 3.1 (WiMAX), 5.0 (WLAN) and 9.9 (X-band) GHz with impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.7-3.9 GHz, 4.4-5.5 GHz and 9.5-10.3 GHz in simulation. Under measurement the proposed antenna shows multiband phenomenon at 3.2, 5.3 and 9.7 GHz with impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.8-3.7 GHz, 4.6-5.4 GHz and 9.4-10 GHz, respectively. The antenna exhibits simulated gain of 2.51, 1.18 and 1.96 dB at the corresponding frequency bands of 3.1, 5.0 and 9.9 GHz. The key parameters of the antenna like length and width of the multi-branched strips are optimized to get the multiband operation. The deisign simulation is carried out in Ansys HFSS (High frequency Simulation Software) where different characteristics of the proposed antenna are investigated. The evolution and optimization process is dealt in detail with the help of S11, VSWR, current distributions, radiation patterns and gain.

Abstract A compact hexagonal nested loop fractal antenna with L shaped slot on the ground plane is presented for multiband applications. In this paper, the effect of fractal iterations and position of L-slot on ground plane are optimized for better performance of the antenna. Multiple hexagon loops excite multiple resonant modes at 1.7, 2.4, 3.1, 4.5 and 6 GHz and an L-shaped slot on the ground plane helps to achieve wide bandwidth response with better impedance matching in the 4.25–6.41 GHz frequency band. An equivalent circuit of the proposed antenna is modelled and the same is verified using ADS. Reflection coefficient and radiation pattern are presented to further confirm the performance of the proposed design for wireless applications. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a low-cost FR4 substrate of dimensions 40×32×1.6 mm3 and measured results show good agreement with simulation results.

Purpose Antenna miniaturization, multiband operation and wider operational bandwidth are vital to achieve optimal design for modern wireless communication devices. Using fractal geometries is recognized as one of the most promising solutions to attain these characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to present a unique structure of patch antenna using hybrid fractal technique to enhance the performance characteristics for various wireless applications and to achieve better miniaturization. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors propose a novel hybrid fractal antenna by combining Koch and Minkowski (K-M) fractal geometries. A microstrip patch antenna (MPA) operating at 1.8 GHz is incorporated with a novel K-M hybrid fractal geometry. The proposed fractal antenna is designed and simulated in CST Microwave studio and compared with existing Koch fractal geometry. The prototype for the third iteration of the K-M fractal antenna is then fabricated on FR-4 substrate and tested through vector network analyzer for operating band/voltage standing wave ratio. Findings The third iteration of the proposed K-M fractal geometry results in achieving a 20% size reduction as compared to an ordinary MPA for the same resonant frequency with impedance bandwidth of 16.25 MHz and a directional gain of 6.48 dB, respectively. The operating frequency of MPA also lowers down to 1.44 GHz. Originality/value Further testing for the radiation patterns in an anechoic chamber shows good agreement to those of simulated results.

In this letter, the design of a compact planar Fractal-shaped O-ring monopole antenna based on the Sierpinski carpet concept is studied and proposed for modern broadband wireless applications. The planar fractal-shaped O-ring monopole antenna is on the basis of Sierpinski category construction and then modifies the state of the plane inward with a radius of 27mm over the two iterations. The antenna structure is low profile and easy to be fabricated, and it has performed the simulation and measurement with the result VSWR ≤ 2 that can achieve a wide impedance bandwidth 636% from the frequency band 1.57GHz ~ 10GHz. The geometric scale factor of the Sierpinski fractal is according to the same scale element that defines the geometrical self-similarity. In our experiments, the results show that use of fractal-shaped O-ring into monopole antenna structure can effectively improve input impedance matching, and obtain a larger bandwidth and better radiation pattern, while also having predictable multi-band characteristics.
