Abstract :
The effect of slot loading on microstrip patch antennas is investigated. Initially, Koch island fractal and H-shape slots are introduced to microstrip patch antennas and their effect on reduction of the resonant frequency is determined. Then, additional slots of more complex geometry are implemented on the H-shaped patch to further reduce its resonance frequency. Their effects on the impedance bandwidth are also investigated
