Abstract

The design and simulation of two microwave antennas of fractal geometry are proposed in this paper. The patch and micro strip type antennas occupying same volume have been simulated and investigated. The simulation results report that the patch fractal antenna resonates at two frequencies whereas micro strip type fractal antenna possesses a good size reduction ability while providing a single resonant frequency. Both miniaturization and dual band coverage are the greatly achievable factors in this type. IE3D electromagnetic simulation software has been used to simulate the performance of these fractal structures.
