Abstract
The design of a new fractal multiband antenna, based on the hexagon, is presented. Three iterations of the hexagonal fractal multiband antenna, arranged in the dipole configuration, are examined. Experimental results are compared with those obtained using the method of moments and the fractal antenna is found to possess predictable multiband characteristics.
