Abstract :
The Vicsek fractal patch antenna is introduced to reduce the antenna size in this paper. Compared to the normal square patch antenna, this antenna reveals lower resonant frequency. Some results of experiments and simulations using the method of momentum are given here to show the miniaturizing benefits of using Vicsek fractal shape.
