ABSTRACT:The multiband and wideband performances of innovative fractal antennas constructed with circular patterns are proposed in this paper. By using the Descartes circle theorem and self-similar iteration design, the circular fractal antennas exhibit frequency-independent characteristics and multiband spectra. The simulated and experimental results with multiband/wideband spectra and radiation patterns are presented and discussed.
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.
