A hybrid fractal antenna inspired from sri yantra geometry covering multiple bands in the microwave frequency spectrum is presented in this paper with a reduced size of 45mm x 30mm x 1.6mm. The presented design aims at a multiband antenna with a polygon slots in- scribed in a circular patch with defected ground structure and the effect of Sri Yantra fractal iterations on the antenna characteristics are also studied. The gains achieved at respective bands for Sri Yantra geometry are 4.61dB at 4.04GHz, 2.71dB at 4.94GHz, 4.77dB at 5.88GHz, 3.41dB at 6.60GHz, 5.12dB at 7.24GHz, 3.11dB at 8.88GHz and 3.47dB at 10.92GHz.

In this paper, a fractal antenna array for telecommunication applications is presented. The proposed antenna array is realized on a Plexiglas substrate, has 1×2 radiating elements, and dimensions of 170mm×105mm. The antenna array is composed of two Koch Snowflake patches and is fed by a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) transmission line. Radiating elements and the ground plane are printed on the top side of the substrate. Defected Ground Structure (DGS) technique is employed to enhance the bandwidth and improve the impedance matching. The proposed antenna array operates at two frequency bands, 1.08-1.32GHz covering the GPS band and 1.7-3.7GHz covering the GSM 1800/1900, UTMS, Bluetooth, LTE, and WiMAX bands. In addition, the antenna has a good performance with efficiency and peak gain of 82% and 6.3dB respectively. These characteristics allow the antenna to be an attractive candidate for telecommunication systems. Design and analysis of different structures were carried out with Ansys HFSS.
