A tree shaped fractal antenna with U shaped slot and W-shaped slot has been designed and analyzed in this article by using ANSYS elec-tromagnetic desktop 17. The proposed antenna is analyzed taking FR4 substrate is taken as the substrate material. The proposed antenna exhibits multiband characteristics (2.75-3.17GHz, 4.1-4.8GHz, 5.1-5.3GHz and 5.4-6.3GHz, 7.21-12.8GHz) in the Ultra-wide band region. The path that is radiating by superposition of the rectangular patches and multiple-band operating frequency is obtained by increasing the U-shapes slots and w-shaped slot on the patch. The improvement in the impedance characteristics between the adjacent frequencies is achieved by using defected ground structure (DGS) on the ground plane as to cover the region of UWB application (3.1-10.6GHz). The proposed antenna works in the applications like Wi-Max, Weather forecasting RADAR systems and WLAN.

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.

In this article a parasitic strip loaded monopole antennas are designed to notch dual and triple bands. The designed models are constructed on one side of the substrate material and on the other end defected ground structures are implemented. The basic antenna comprises a tuning stub and a ground plane with tapered shape slot as DGS. Another model is constructed with circular monopole radiating element on front side and similar kind of ground structure used in the basic rectangular tuning stub antenna. To create notched bands with tuning stubs, two symmetrical parasitic slits are placed inside the slot of the ground plane. The basic model is of the rectangular stub notching triple band and the circular tuning stub antenna notching dual band. Dual band notched circular tuning stub antenna is prototyped on FR4 substrate and measured results from vector network analyzer are compared with simulation results of HFSS for validation.

In this paper presents the design of a circular microstrip fractal antenna (CMFA) loaded with parasitic edge-coupled (EC) split ring resonators (SRR) and defected ground structure (DGS). The basic resonant structure is a circular patch antenna designed at 3.2 GHz on FR4 substrate with relative permittivity 4.4, and 1.6 mm thickness. One iteration of circular patch and slots is employed to form it fractal and so as to attain multiband performance, the antenna is inset fed by a 50? microstrip line. Further the work is extended to demonstrate the effect of placing split ring resonator to particular position of substrate, improves the impedance matching leading to improved bandwidth. In addition L shaped defected ground structures are used to improve the antenna performance. . A comparison between fractal antenna with and without SRRs and DGS is made and the results verifies that a better gain improvement and return loss. The dimensions of the antenna are 45 mm x 45 mm and it can be used for ultra wide band (UWB) applications.


In this paper, a compact microstrip patch has a slot associated with the Defected Ground Structure radiator is presented. Instead of semi-infinite ground plane, the proposed antenna adopts the defected ground plane. The Radiating patch mendacity on the FR-4 substrate which is having dielectric constant of 4.4, thereby provides good bandwidth. This microstrip antenna is designed for wide bandwidth applications in range of 5.5GHz to 7.25GHz. Proposed work introduces a methodology wherein reducing of structure’s increase the bandwidth as well as return loss with defected ground structure (DGS).However since communication systems require small size, broad band and multiband antennas, monopoles have to be ensued for fabricating broad-band and wide-band antennas. In the proposed work investigations are carried out to design a new antenna with broad-band properties. Simulations are carried out via An soft HFSS electromagnetic simulator software- fabricated on FR-4 Substrate and tested with Vector network Analyzer. Measurement and Simulation results obtained prove the applicability of proposed antenna in 5.5GHz to 7.25GHz frequency range with a return loss of -31.3dB and 11.5dB etc. Microstrip feed line technique is used to feed the antenna with 50Ω impedance.

This paper explore about   the micro strip patch antenna design with a defected ground structure (DGS) for dual band operation. The intend of this paper is to design an micro strip antenna, under the frequency at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz that can be utilized for BLUETOOTH and WLAN applications. The feeding technique used here is coaxial feed technique. The above said double band property can be established by etching U-slot in the ground plane. Being periodic structure slot is selected and it is imposed on ground plane. The periodic structures naturally modify the method of propagation of the electromagnetic signal passing on to the antenna. Essentially its core is to vary the parasitic capacitance and inductance of the material through which the substrate is made. This may moreover leads to the reduction in size and progress the performance of the antenna. Micro strip patch antennae are favored due to the fact that these are small in size, inexpensive, consume low power and easy to fabricate and also be designed to meet wide band application requirements.

In this paper, an X-shaped fractal antenna with defected ground structure (DGS) is presented for multiband and wideband applications. The X shape is used due to its simple design and DGS is utilized to achieve size reduction with multiband and wideband features in the frequency range of 1–7 GHz. The proposed structure is fabricated on FR4 substrate with 1.6 mm thickness. We have proposed two different antennas both are having X-shaped fractal patch with a slotted ground plane to have more impedance bandwidth and better return loss. Various parameters like scale factor, width of ground plane, number of slots with their dimensions and feed line length are optimized to have size reduction and for enhancing the performance of antenna. Reflection coefficient shows the multiband and wideband features of proposed antenna. One of the proposed antennas covers various applications like IEEE802.11y at 3.65 and 4.9 GHz, IEEE 802.11a at 5.4 GHz, 802.11P at 5.9 GHz. Other antenna covers applications like IEEE802.16 at 3.5 GHz; 5 cm band for amateur radio and satellite and future 5 G communication systems over 6 GHz. The antenna designing was done using CST software and simulation results were compared with experimental results (using E5071C network analyzer).

In this paper, a novel circular slotted rectangular patch antenna with three triangle shape Defected Ground Structure (DGS) has been proposed. Radiating patch is made by cutting circular slots of radius 3 mm from the three sides and center of the conventional rectangular patch structure and three triangle shape defects are presented on the ground layer. The size of the proposed antenna is 38 X 25 mm2. Optimization is performed and simulation results have been obtained using Empire XCcel 5.51 software. Thus, a miniaturized antenna is designed which has three impedance bandwidths of 0.957 GHz,  0.779 GHz, 0.665 GHz with resonant frequencies at 3.33 GHz, 6.97 GHz and 8.59 GHz and the corresponding return loss at the three resonant frequencies are -40 dB, -43 dB and -38.71 dB respectively. A prototype is also fabricated and tested. Fine agreement between the measured and simulated results has been obtained. It has been observed that introducing three triangle shape defects on the ground plane results in increased bandwidth, less return loss, good radiation pattern and better impedance matching over the required operating bands which can be used for wireless applications and future 5G applications.
