Abstract :
This paper describes the concept of a new fractal multi-band antenna based on the hexagon shape. Three iterations of the hexagonal fractal multi-band antenna arranged are examined. With this structure it is possible to configure the multi-band frequency and radiation pattern to obtain directional patterns with high directivity and gain. The ADS software was used to design and analyze the antenna array for applications at range 0.5-10 GHz. Fabrication of the antenna is done by using wet-etching method, on FR-4 dielectric.
