Abstract :
In this paper, a novel multifractal cantor based multiband monopole antenna is proposed and analyzed using 3-Dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain Method (3D-FDTD). The proposed antenna has multiband characteristics covering several wireless applications in Ultra Wideband (UWB) including WLAN 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, GSM, PCS and DCS applications. A program based on 3D-FDTD method is written and utilized for observing return loss of the proposed antenna.
