Abstract :
It has been previously demonstrated that the self-similar fractal gap structure of the Sierpinski gasket can be perturbed to modify the periodic behavior of the antenna´s multiple operating bands. Here, the central gap structure of the previously described modified Parany Gasket is perturbed, resulting in a similar allocation of operating bands and periodic multiband behavior.
