Planar fractal antennas for wireless devices

This paper proposes two microwave antennas of fractal geometry design and simulation. The patch and thin microstrip type antennas of the same outer dimensions have been designed and investigated. The simulation results report that the patch fractal antenna resonates at two frequencies whereas microstrip fractal antenna possesses a good size reduction ability while providing a single resonant frequency. Fractal antennas are used in wide range of frequencies for various wireless applications. Both miniaturization and dual band coverage are the greatly achievable factors in this type. IE3D electromagnetic simulation software has been used to simulate the performance of these fractal structures.
