Abstract :
A fractal model for a planar antenna has been widely investigated as an effective antenna for achieving multi-band performance. In this paper, a modified equilateral triangular microstrip antenna (MT-MSA) with folded slots is proposed to achieve multi-frequency operation. The proposed antenna is fed by an L-probe and has folded slots having constant intervals. Experiment results showed that satisfactory performance was achieved in both return-loss and radiation pattern characteristics
