There is highly demand of antenna with these characteristics: compact size, low profile and multiband or broadband but at the same time have to maintain antenna parameters. This paper focuses on design of Sierpinski Gasket Fractal Antenna (SGFA) with slits for multiband application.Two methods are applied to this antenna to improve its performance. The first method is by adding two slits on the fractal antenna. The second method is by increasing the number of iterations of the fractal antenna. These methods can improve the return loss and gain of the antenna. The simulation of the designed antenna is carried out by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. The simulated return loss of SGFA with slit is about -20.1 dB and -11.64 dB compare with SGFA without slit -19.25 dB and -12.27 dB at 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz. While, the gain also increase when slit is added to SGFA. The simulated and measured of antenna parameter is well compared

A dual band monopole antenna for Wireless local area network (WLAN) communication system is presented. The antenna has been designed with two meander branch monopole elements and the rectangular ground structure with simple configuration. The first branch is optimized by using a quarter wavelength of desired resonance frequency at 2.45 GHz. Meanwhile, additional branch of second branch brings resonance frequency of 5.8 GHz. This can easily suited by using 50 ohm probe feed with SMA connector. The proposed antenna is simulated by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software in order to simulate the return loss, bandwidth, gain, directivity, surface current and radiation pattern. The impedance bandwidth for return loss less than -10 dB is 284 MHz and 267 MHz for first and second resonance frequency. In fact, second resonance can be adjusted by modifying the second branch length, L B1 with little effect on the first resonance.

In this project, the different locations of the quadruple P-spiral split ring resonator (MI-SRR) structure are embedded in the basic rectangular patch antenna. It started with a basic rectangular microstrip patch antenna that simulated in CST Microwave Studio software. After that, four different locations (Location A, Location B, Location C and Location D) of QPS-SRR had chosen to compare its performance of return loss, resonant frequency, surface current radiation pattern, and gain. Location A is representing the antenna with the QPS-SRR at the center part of the patch while Location B has the QPS-SRR at the upper part of the FR-4 substrate. For the Location C and Location D represent the antenna with MI-SRR at the ground at antenna with MI-SRR at the other layer, respectively. Compared with the basic rectangular antenna with only – 27.082 dB, the best return loss was reached by Location A with - 34.199 dB with resonant frequency at 2.390 GHz, while the Location C only shifted the minor value to 2.394 GHz with only - 25.13 dB.

In this paper, we study behavior of Ultra wideband antenna which is Rectangular Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna. Then, the antenna operated in proximity of human arm model. Furthermore, the antenna is designed on a FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3 and thickness 1.6 mm. This antenna simulated in CST Microwave Studio software. In order to test the antenna, an arm model was numerically modelled. The study shows properties and performances of antenna when it is placed in three situations which in free space, outside and inside of human arm model. The properties of UWB antenna in term of return loss, gain, directivity and radiation pattern in the three situations is simulated and discussed.

This paper discusses about a bandwidth enhancement of Vivaldi antenna loaded using triangular shaped. Firstly, a normal Vivaldi antenna using FR-4 substrate had been designed. Then, the triangular shaped slots had been added at the upper layer of the antenna. It shows the better improvement in return loss, gain, directivity and bandwidth operated at frequency of 10 GHz after the addition of the triangular shaped slot. The advantages of a Vivaldi antenna such as simplicity, wide bandwidth, and high gain at microwave.The return loss of this Vivladiantenna with triangular slot is – 18.495 dB at resonant frequency of 10 GHz while for Vivaldi antenna is - 17.818 dB at 10 GHz for measurement result. This proposed antenna had been designed and simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) simulation software.
