Design of hybrid fractal antenna for UWB application

A compact fractal monopole planar antenna with size of 30× 25 mm² is proposed for ultra wide band (UWB) application. The proposed antenna is designed by combination of Giusepe Peano and Sierpinski Carpet fractal geometries. The feed circuit is a microstrip line with a matching section over a semi-elliptical ground plane. The proposed antenna has an omnidirectional radiation pattern and good gain. The simulated results of return loss, gain and radiation patterns are presented and discussed.
