Abstract :
A novel configuration of the Sierpinski triangular gasket antenna is proposed. A quasi-log-periodic performance was achieved for the operating bands of GSM, DECT and WLAN by using a new band spacing control technique. This design enhances the input matching performance to well over -10 dB with a 50 /spl Omega/ feed.
