MULTI BAND MEANDERED STACKED MICROSTRIP FRACTALANTENNA

Abstract

Antennas with various structures based on the above techniques are designed, fabricated and tested for wireless communication bands between 0.5 GHz and 6 GHz. Probe fed, microstrip line fed rectangular patches along with C-shaped slot and slits on edges are designed for the frequency 2.45 GHz. Probe fed Circular patch with single slit and slot, and multi slits for 0.9 GHz are designed. Also, fractal structures on microstrip patch antenna are designed. Circular patch antenna resonating frequencies at 0.9 GHz, and 2.6 GHz is designed. Hexadecagon (sixteen) sided circular patch antenna is designed with four fractal iterations. Octagonal shaped fractal exhibits wideband operation. With each iterations1 to 3 on Circular patch antenna, size reduction is achieved
