A wideband Sierpinski carpet fractal cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna for X-Band application

A wideband Sierpinski carpet fractal patterned embedded DRA is presented in this paper. Antenna design methodology is discussed along with its resonance and radiation characteristics. An impedance bandwidth of 50% is obtained covering the entire X-band with similar radiation pattern throughout the band. The average peak gain within the band is about 5.5 dBi.
