چکیده

Antennas for hand-held communication devices are necessarily small, and typically use wavelengths λ that are large compared to the size of the antenna. This typically implies that the magnitude of the antenna reactance X (= imaginary part of the antenna impedance) is large compared to that of its radiation resistance Rrad (which is related to the time-average radiated power P and the peak current I0 at the feedpoint by P = I 2 0Rrad/2), so that it is challenging to build an effective impedance matching circuit between the feedline and the antenna. Furthermore, small antennas use small conductors so it may be that the Ohmic resistance ROhm of the antenna is significant compared it radiation resistance, 1 which lowers the antenna efficiency, defined as

Design and Miniaturization of a Novel Fractal Microstrip Antenna for UWB Applications

A novel printed octagonal fractal microstrip antenna with semi-elliptical ground plane is presented for ultra wide band applications. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 20×20×1 mm³. The measured result of the antenna exhibits the ultra wide band characteristics from 2/9 to 14/2 GHz. In this paper, reducing antenna’s size by 35%, the same results were achieved, while small dimension frac...
