Abstract :
Fractal technique is one of the focuses of recent research about antenna design, and that owes to its multi-band and dimension-reduced characteristics because of the self-similar and space-fill property. Based on the work by Ilk (2001), this paper presented an in-depth investigation about near-field and far-field parameters of Koch Island fractal patch, especially on the input impedance and radiation pattern, as well as coupling factor between patches.
