Abstract

This paper presents a Koch-like sided Sierpinski multi-fractal antenna for ultra wide band applications. The fractal techniques such as the Koch and Sierpinski Fractal techniques are been introduced into the conventional triangular patch antenna with microstrip feed to obtain better return loss and impedance bandwidth characteristics. The simulation was performed in High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS 13). The antenna parameters such as resonant frequency, return loss, radiation pattern and surface current distribution are simulated and discussed in this paper.
