Two element self-similar plus shape fractal antenna for wireless applications

In this paper, self-similar fractal antenna with two element array is proposed and studied. Fractal geometry is a methodology through which size reduction is achieved. Plus shaped fractal antennas with base, first and second iteration of order 1/3 is designed on substrate with ɛr=4.4 & h=1.6mm. The designed antenna resonates at multiple frequencies with size reduction of 72.83% with improved return loss, bandwidth and gain. The Proposed antenna is simulated by using the method of moment based commercial software (IE3D) measured with Vector Network Analyzer. The simulated results are in good agreement with experimental results.
