چکیده
With advancement in communication technology over the past decade, there is an increasing demand for miniaturization, cost effective, multiband and wideband antennas. Fractal antenna designs can support in meeting these requirements. Though these antennas provide several advantages but at the same time miniaturization and performance of the fractal antennas can be further enhanced using reconfiguration concept. This paper proposes a novel hybrid reconfigurable fractal antenna that combines the advantage of both the categories. A reconfigurable fractal antenna is designed, simulated and optimized using Ansoft-High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). The optimized antenna is fabricated and tested using Vector Network Analyzer. The fabricated antenna results are in good agreement with simulated results. The proposed antenna can be used for satellite communication, medical imaging and microwave imaging application, Vehicular radar applications and wireless industry application.
