Abstract :
The first three iterations of Sierpinski Gasket and Koch Island fractal microstrip patch antenna with a probe feeding on a single microstrip substrate are studied. Predictable multiband characteristics is explained. A new design of fractal multiband antenna based on both the Sierpinski Gasket and Koch Island is presented. Antenna fabrication is done with photolithographic technique. Experimental measurements are compared with numerical results obtained using the method of moments implemented in the ready-made Zeland IE3D version 10.0 simulator software. Comparison between results verifies the new design idea and characteristics
