Miniaturized UWB Monopole Microstrip Antenna Design by the Combination of Giusepe Peano and Sierpinski Carpet Fractals

Miniature monopole fractal antenna with inscribed arrowhead cuts for UWB applications

“…Table I is presented a summary of antenna characteristics for comparison. From table I it is observed that proposed antenna has more resonances and larger impedance bandwidth in spite of less complexity and higher gain than antennas in [5,6,7,8]. Current distribution over the proposed antenna at: (e) 3 GHz, (f) 6 GHz, (g) 8 GHz, and (h) 10 GHz.…”

“…Fractal geometries are usually generated by applying an infinite number of times an iterative algorithm such as the multiple reduction copy machine (MRCM) algorithm [3]. Consequently, fractal structures can give rise to relatively compact wideband antennas having radiation patterns and input impedance characteristics similar to larger conventional antennas [4,5,6,7,8]. Unfortunately antennas that are much smaller than the wavelength of the operating frequency have drastically degraded efficiency performance since their radiation resistance is reduced and the reactive energy stored in their near field is increased [9].…”

Modified hexagonal Sierpinski gasket-based antenna design with multiband and miniaturized characteristics for UWB wireless communication

“…There are several well-known fractal geometries for antenna applications in the literature that ensure small sizes and multiband characteristics, including the Hilbert fractal, Koch, Sierpinski gasket, Pythagorean tree, and Giusepe Peano designs [13][14][15][16][17]. In the current paper, the Sierpinski gasket (also known as the Sierpinski triangle) was chosen as a fractal geometry for antenna design since the design has a similarity to the well-known triangular concept.…”

Dual‐band Minkowski–Sierpinski fractal antenna for next generation satellite communications and wireless body area networks

“…A variety of fractal geometries are proposed for the low-profile antenna design including Sierpinski gasket, Sierpinski carpet, Koch curves, Cantor set geometry, and the Minkowski carpet. 12,[15][16][17] This article proposes a new dual-band fractal antenna structure operating in 4 GHz and 5.9 GHz frequency bands. The proposed structure is a combined Minkowski-Sierpinski carpet antenna design suitable for next generation of WBANs, satellite and wireless communication systems.…”
