In this paper, a straightforward yet effective design methodology to design wideband antenna with band notched characteristics has been proposed. Sierpinski carpet fractal geometry has been used to realize the antenna structure. Co-planar waveguide feed is used with a novel structure to achieve larger impedance bandwidth and band notching characteristics. Proposed antenna is designed using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) on a low cost FR4 substrate (ɛr=4.4) which resonates at three frequencies 1.51 GHz (1.19-2.06GHz), 6.53 GHz and 8.99 GHz (4.44-9.54 GHz) while a band is notched at 10.46 GHz (9.32-11.92 GHz). The proposed antenna has an electrical dimension of 0.36 λm× 0.24 λm, here λm is the wavelength with respect to lowest resonating frequency of the antenna. The resonating and radiation characteristics of the antenna are verified experimentally. Further, investigations are made to achieve easy integration of the antenna to the monolithic microwave integrated circuits. For that the antenna has been designed on micro-machined high index Silicon substrate which improve matching and gain of the antenna. The results of the micro-machined Sierpinski carpet fractal antenna are highly convincing over the conventional FR4 based antenna.

A low-cost multi-edged rectangular microstrip fractal antenna (RMFA) yielding a huge bandwidth of 8.62[Formula: see text]GHz has been proposed in this paper. The proposed fractal antenna design constitutes a radiation patch, fed with 50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] microstrip line and a partial ground plane. The partial ground plane is the combination of shapes of rectangle and three-point arc. The proposed antenna is simulated as well as fabricated. The simulated results using electromagnetic solver software and measured with vector network analyzer bench MS46322A are presented and compared. The various parameters such as return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), antenna impedance, gain, directivity, group delay and phase of [Formula: see text], radiation efficiency and patterns are presented here. The depth of return loss is improved for a wide range of frequencies. The proposed fractal antenna is further extended to linear array to improve the gain and impedance bandwidth. The simulated and measured results prove the superiority of the proposed antenna.

This paper presents a front-end structure of a reconfigurable patch antenna for cognitive radio systems. The antenna structure consists of an Ultrawideband (UWB) sensing antenna and an array of frequency reconfigurable antennas incorporated on the same substrate. The UWB and reconfigurable antennas are fed by co-planar waveguides (CPW). The reconfigurability is achieved by rotating the series of patch antennas through a certain angle and the rotation is controlled by mechanical means using an Arduino microcontroller. The rotational reconfigurability has been preferred over MEMS switches, PIN diodes, and other lumped elements because the latter requires the need for bias lines. The entire structure is designed using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software and the prototype is fabricated over FR-4 substrate having a thickness of 1.6mm and measurements are carried out. This antenna achieves a wideband frequency from 2 GHz to 12 GHz and distinct narrow band of frequencies by reconfigurability using single antenna consisting of different shapes spaced accurately to ensure isolation between adjacent frequency bands and each antenna element working for a bandwidth of 2 GHz for frequency from 2 GHz to 12 GHz upon a single substrate and the reconfigurable elements are controlled using a low cost Arduino microcontroller connected directly to the antenna which ensures accurate controlling of the rotation and fast switching between the antenna elements. The measured results agree with the simulated results and have less than 10 dB impedance bandwidth.

The use of multifunctional devices increases day by day. Mentioned devices, as smart tv, need appropriate and unified antennas which can meet required frequencies. Therefore, in this paper, a Sierpinski carpet microstrip fractal antenna in the second iteration is designed and fabricated for Digital Tv in UHF band and wireless wideband networks. It was verified that that the design of a fractal antenna based on the Sierpinski carpet is possible from a rectangular patch on iteration 0; however, it must be taken into account that the patch design must be carried out at a specific resonance frequency. Simulation is carried out using ADS simulator, and it was verified using a vector network analyzer. The proposed fractal antenna operates in the UHF digital TV range from 470 MHz to 683 MHz and in the 2.45 GHz to 2.4835 GHz range of broadband wireless local area network.
