Abstract :
In this paper, investigation results of a Sierpinski microstrip fractal antenna is presented by feeding using different feed mechanisms. It has been observed that the proposed novel feed network can significantly enhance its multi-band impedance match in addition to its input gain performance. The antenna will be fabricated and experimentally verified. The measured results along with the simulation results will be presented during the symposium.
