A Compact Sierpinski Gasket Fractal Antenna for S, C, X, and Ku Band Applications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 141, 33-40, 2024
Abstract
A Sierpinski Gasket Fractal Structure embedded in an Octagonal Microstrip Printed Monopole Antenna is proposed. The prototype is mathematically developed in a miniaturized cross-sectional area with ultra-wide resonance. A fractal design resembling a third-order Sierpinski gasket is applied to the octagonal radiator in a mutually proportional manner, increases the radiation across the entire surface area by extending the effective length of the dielectric. Additionally, the partial ground alters the resonant modes of TM11 and TM21 to a second-order iterative response via two contactless slots. Also, the driven radiator exhibits Fractional Bandwidth (FBW) of 156% spanning at 2.65 GHz-21.6 GHz, along with a peak gain 6.23 dB. The fabricated prototype demonstrates excellent agreement during testing and measurement using a microwave analyzer and an anechoic chamber, respectively. The proposed antenna covers resonance for applications at the S, C, X, and Ku bands. Also, it completely envelopes the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Sub-6 GHz 5G spectrum.
