Abstract :
A compact linearly polarized fractal boundary microstrip antenna is presented. There is a reduction of resonance frequency from 2525 MHz to 1896 MHz i.e around 25 % with the proposed antenna compared to the square patch of the same size. The antenna provides gain of about 4.9 dBi over the entire band of frequencies. By changing the indentation depth factor of the boundary of the fractal curve, it is also possible to control the resonance frequency effectively.
