Abstract
A multi-fractal triangular patch antenna for ultra wide band application is presented in this paper. The basic objective of multi-fractal geometry is composed of traditional equilateral triangular patch antenna with microstrip feed. Here we using the Koch and sierpinski fractal concept for structure to achieve the better return loss and bandwidth characteristics with reduced size of antenna. The proposed antenna exhibit resonant frequency at 5.41GHz with better return loss of -42.43dB and bandwidth 2.1219GHz. There is a better matching of feed network and proposed patch antenna which gives VSWR equal to 1.0152. The simulation was performed in Computer Simulation Technology.
