Abstract

In this paper, a new design of planar-tree fractal antenna based on ternary fractal tree geometry for multiband communication services is proposed, designed, and tested. The modified fractal tree antenna is employed to achieve multi-band characteristics. As a low-profile antenna, the proposed antenna covers the DVB-H (174-862 MHz), Bluetooth (2400-2484 MHz), WIMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) (5150-5356 MHz) band with 10 dB return loss criterion. The measured return loss of the proposed antenna is presented and compared with simulated results.
