Optimization and Performance Analysis of a Miniature Folded-Slot Antenna Utilizing Square Koch Fractal for the 2.4 GHz ISM Band
摘要
This paper presents a technique for miniaturizing planar antennas. A compact fractal slot antenna, based on the Square Koch geometry, is developed for 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band applications. The initial design, created using Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) technology on a Rogers RT5870 substrate (dielectric constant 2.33, thickness 0.8 mm), has dimensions of 30 × 30 mm2 and operates at 4.8 GHz, achieving a miniaturization rate of 81%. In the second iteration, the Square Koch fractal curve is introduced to shift the resonance frequency to 2.4 GHz, while preserving the same antenna size of 30 × 30 mm2.
