Abstract

A new CPW-fed self-affine fractal antenna, which has a novel configuration, is proposed and investigated for low profile and multi-band performance in mobile communication systems. The vastly different structure can be created from a simple rectangular patch while the number of iterations increases. The proposed antenna provides a radiation pattern similar to that of a simple monopole antenna oriented in the y-direction. In addition, the effect of the iteration coefficient, k, on the fundamental resonant frequency is studied along with the procedure of antenna design and experimental results.
