Abstract :
A new fractal volume antenna that consists of two intersecting Sierpinski triangular gaskets is presented. The proposed configuration is analysed by means of a generalised finite difference time domain (FDTD) conformal algorithm which precisely verifies the expected multiband behaviour and the densely distributed resonances of the structure
