Flower Patterned with Elliptical Petals Multiband Microstrip Fractal Patch Antenna for Wireless Applications
摘要
This research paper proposes a miniature multiband fractal microstrip patch antenna in a flower pattern with elliptically shaped petals, providing a multiband with multiple uses in wireless communication using three iterations or antennas. These types of antennas are simulated by CST Microwave Studio Suite. The recommended antenna is 55 × 55 mm2 (L × W) in size and resonating frequencies are 2.7 (WLAN), 3.5 (WiMAX), 4.7, 6.3, 6.8, 8 (C-band), 8.61, 10.4, 12 (X-band), 13.9, 14.8 and 15.58 GHz (Ku-band), with VSWR ≤ 2 in frequency range 2 GHz to 16 GHz. A better gain of simulated antennas is achieved for the budget-friendly material substrate. The required patch is constructed on FR-4 (ɛr = 4.3) substrate with a height of substrate h = 1.6 mm. The antenna uses microstrip feeding as a feeding technique. The antenna has applications in a variety of wireless communication such as satellite communication systems and in radar for weather, aeronautical radio navigation service (ARNS) systems (C, X, and Ku-bands).
