Abstract :
The implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID) involved two main components; the transponder and the reader. The transponder or simply known as a tag comprises of a programmable chip and an antenna. The antenna of the tag has to be of compact size. This paper presents a compact antenna based on the Hilbert curve fractal. The basic antenna is designed at 2.4 GHz, one of the frequencies used in RFID applications. The antenna geometry went through three iterations of fractal process. The designed antennas were then simulated using electromagnetic simulation software. It was observed that a compact Hilbert curve fractal antenna performs well at the desired frequency of operation
