Abstract

The sudden growth in wireless communication area has increased the requirements of compact integrated antennas. This paper describes the design of Modified Sierpinski Carpet Fractal Antenna which resonates at six frequencies 4.825, 5.455, 6.265 GHz and 6.805, 8.02 and 9.145 GHz. Different performance parameters like radiation pattern, gain, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio, return losses are observed at all the frequencies. The FR4 glass epoxy with relative permittivity 4.4 and height 1.6 mm is used as substrate material. Antenna is fed by coaxial probe feed and simulated using ANSYS/ANSOFT HFSS V13 software. Proposed antenna has simple structure. Investigation is done between 1 and 10 GHz frequencies. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested on the Vector Network Analyzer. The measured and simulated results of proposed antenna are compared and are found to be good agreement with each other.
