Abstract :
A new form of modified microstrip-line feed fractal patch antenna is proposed for wideband application. The fractal shape is based on triangular, modified with circle and iteration of self similar design. The -10 dB return loss (VSWR 2:1) impedance bandwidth is 80% ranging from 2.4-5.6 GHz . The EM characteristics of the antenna are presented by the current distribution. Proposed antenna maintained good radiation pattern with gain. Detailed design steps and study of different parameter are presented in this paper.
