Pythagoras Tree: a Fractal Patch Antenna for Multi-Frequency and Ultra-Wide Bandwidth Operations
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 16, 25-35, 2010
Abstract
This paper shows the design of a fractal patch antenna, which uses a unique fractal geometry known as Pythagoras tree with co-planer waveguide (CPW) feeding. The antenna has been designed for dual band operation at the WLAN/WiMAX (2.4 GHz) and WiMAX (3.5 GHz) for Ultra-Wideband applications. The antenna was simulated using CST Microwave Studio. The fabricated antenna's measurement results were found to be in good agreement with the simulated ones.
