Description
Summary:A novel compact rectangular fractal-shaped antenna for tri-band wireless communication applications is developed in this article. The proposed fractal shaped is achieved by cutting two rectangular slots in the rectangular monopole. Additionally, a stub is introduced in the bottom side of the antenna to enhance the impedance bandwidth of the acquired three bands. The developed antenna has a compact size 22 × 34 × 1.6 mm 3 . The CST MWS is used to design the antenna and its characteristics including S 11 , current distribution, radiation characteristics are exposed and analysed. To demonstrate that the simulation outcomes are reliable, the suggested antenna is manufactured and put through testing on an E5071C VNA. Additionally, the results of the experiments demonstrate that the designed antenna offers three impedance bandwidths 2.25-2.96 GHz, 3.56-4.01 GHz, and 4.6-5.86 GHz, which shields all the LTE, WLAN, WiMAX, and C-band applications. The proposed tri-band fractal antenna also provides good gain at the operating frequencies and an omnidirectional radiation pattern.
