Abstract :
An H-fractal used for a multiband antenna is presented. The H-fractal planar antenna has been fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a 1.6-mm thickness. The proposed antenna can excite multiple resonances with reasonable antenna directivity. Reflection coefficients and radiation properties show that the proposed H-fractal antenna is a good candidate for a variety of antenna applications.
