Abstract :
Experimental verification of the fractal Sierpinski antenna surface current distribution is presented. Measured data from an infrared camera agree with numerical data showing a self-similar behavior in the current density distribution over the fractal antenna surface. This result gives a better insight on the multiband behavior of the fractal-shape antenna.
