Design and analysis of a multi-fractal antenna for UWB application

Comparison of Multi-Fractal Antenna with Star Shaped Fractal Antenna for Wireless Applications

“…The return loss curves of 0 th , 1 st and 2 nd iteration of multi-fractal antenna [1] and star shaped fractal antenna are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 respectively. The VSWR of multifractal antenna is not calculated but in this work the VSWR of existing antenna is also calculated and for the designed star shaped fractal antenna the VSWR curve is shown in Figure 7 and the comparisons of their values are shown in Table 1.…”

“…The aim of this paper is to compare the existing multi-fractal antenna [1] design with the star shaped fractal antenna. The different parameters such as return loss, VSWR, Gain and bandwidth percentage of the designed antenna is compared with the existing fractal antenna which shows that the designed antenna shows the better results as compared to the existing antenna.…”

“…The different iterations of existing multi-fractal antenna [1] and the designed star shaped fractal antenna are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively. The FR4 epoxy substrate with dielectric constant 4.4, thickness 1.6mm and resonant frequency of 5GHz are used for the designing of multi-fractal antenna and star shaped fractal antenna.…”

“…In 1995 the concept of fractal antenna geometries was put forwarded by Nathen Cohen [1]. The self-similarity and space-filling properties of fractal antenna are used to design the antenna for multiband and wideband characteristics.…”

“…In this paper comparison of two different shapes of fractal antennas are discussed. The different parameters and designing procedure of existing antenna (multi-fractal antenna) [1] and the designed star shaped fractal antenna are discussed and compared in this work…”
