Abstract

Modern wireless communication systems need antennas with further bandwidth and smaller size. Fractals have unique properties such as self-similarity and space-filling. The concepts of fractals can be applied to the design of low profile and multi-band antennas. In this paper, a 40 GHz super wideband antenna with applying a new fractal geometry to a wire monopole antenna is presented. Modelling and simulation is performed using SuperNEC electromagnetic simulator. Results of simulation show that proposed antenna is applied in 11-52 GHz frequency range. Radiation patterns are also studied.
