Abstract
A two-layer configuration of the Sierpinski gasket patch antenna is investigated, and a new technique for improving the matching characteristics and the radiation pattern is proposed. We demonstrate that the original two-layer design does not exhibit the desired performance from the point of view of the matching and radiation pattern, and show how this can be modified to improve its performance.
