Abstract :
In this paper a multiband fractal based rectangular microstrip patch antenna is designed. FR4 substrate having thickness of 1.58 mm is used as substrate material for the design of proposed antenna and microstrip feed line provides the excitation to the antenna. The antenna operating frequency range is from 1 to 10 GHz. The proposed antenna resonate at twelve different frequencies as 1.86, 2.33, 3.67, 4.57, 5.08, 6.06, 7.03, 7.75, 8.08, 8.84, 9.56 and 10 GHz and the return losses are -15.39, -16.48, -10.02, -17.29, -13.15, -23.41, -10.22, -11.28, -17.02, -10.94, -15.15 and -15.48 dB respectively. The proposed antenna is designed and simulated by using the Ansoft HFSS V13 (high frequency structure simulator) software.
