Abstract :
In this paper the design of the 8 element linear patch array using the power divider concept and its characteristics are studied. The linear array of 8 elements has shown a gain of 6.6 dB with beam width of 0.68 and multiband characteristics. The second iteration of the fractals concept is applied to the 8 elements linear array and the variations in the characteristics are observed. On the application of fractals, the linear array beam width is decreased from 0.68 to 0.54 with increase in gain from 6.6dB to 7.7dB. The simulated and the practical results are compared.
