Abstract :
This paper presents the design and analysis of fractal antenna that contributes ultra wide band characteristics. Fractal technique is adopted to improve radiation characteristics of the antenna. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed fractal antenna is 9.4 GHz ranging from 3.2GHz to 12.6 GHz with maximum gain of 6.2dB and efficiency of 98.66%. Analysis of antenna is done using CST Microwave Studio.
