Fractal geometry has been widely adopted in the design of various antennas for a wide variety of communications applications. The proposed antenna design is based on fractal geometry of second iterations Apollonian Gasket. This type of fractal can produce an antenna that is miniaturized and multiband. The proposed antenna design built using the FR-4 AS substrate with 4.4 and a loss tangent of 0.002 with a thickness of 1.2 mm. The results show that the proposed antenna offers multiband that suitable for the indoor wireless environment and millimeter-wave applications with high gains and bandwidth enhancement. This antenna also gives good radiation patterns for multiband. Modeling and performance evaluation of the proposed antenna has carried out using CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
