Abstract :
In this paper multiband E-Shaped fractal patch antenna with DGS (Defected Ground Structure) has been proposed. By applying the concept of fractal geometry on rectangular patch, self-similar E-Shaped structure has been obtained. Also, by using FR-4 epoxy (Fire Retardant-4) as substrate antenna resonates at 3.7 GHz, 6.7 GHz, 7.9 GHz and 8.7 GHz respectively with bandwidth 120 MHz, 495 MHz, 225 MHz and 315 MHz at corresponding frequencies. By inserting DGS in the proposed antenna the various parameters have been improved such as return loss, bandwidth and gain. Designing and simulation of this antenna has been done by the help of IE3D Software. The application of this antenna is to make it compatible with Satellite, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, Cellular Phones and Radar etc.
