Trapezoidal ring quad‐band fractal antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications

Abstract: A novel multiband loaded trapezoidal ring fractal antenna (TRFA) is proposed for wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications. The self‐similarity property is applied to the trapezoidal structure and the fractal geometry is achieved by consecutive iterations. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 30 × 30 × 1.6 mm3. The antenna is fabricated and tested. The fourth iteration of the proposed TRFA covers the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands and 2.5/3.5/… Show more

“…Metamaterial inspired antenna consists of a unit cell or a few metamaterial unit cells for performance enhancement of antenna was studied by Si et al [10]. Metamaterial inspired antennas have been investigated for antenna performance enhancement such as impedance matching [11], bandwidth enhancement [12], gain improvement [13], compactness [14] and multiband antenna design [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…The utility of these structures in antenna design comprises electrically small multi-band antennas [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], which results in good impedance matching, gain and bandwidth enhancement [16][17][18]. Typical microstrips, flanges, strips and patches use semi analytical methods [23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Thus far, many efforts and a lot of antenna prototypes have been made and designed. The adopted techniques for these antennas generally include notching or slotting the radiating patch, or increasing number of the radiating strip for additional-mode excitation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], and defecting the ground for bandwidth enhancement [9][10][11] with using various feed structures, which may be the probe, stripline and co-planar waveguide (CPW) feeders. However, a large size or a complicated structure is the usual problem for most of these proposed antennas to thus reduce their practical application in a wireless communication system.…”
