Abstract :
The performance of some space-filling coaxial fed patch antennas has been investigated. It may be contended that the bends and corners of these geometries add to the radiation efficiency of an antenna, thereby improving its gain. The advantage of these configurations is that they lead to multiband conformal antennas. A new version of the Gosper curve patch antenna is introduced and its performance is compared to a conventional Gosper curve patch antenna.
