A Novel Γ-shape Fractal Antenna for Wideband Communications

Abstract

In this paper, a novel Γ-shaped Fractal antenna is proposed for wideband applications. The proposed antenna is made of iterations of a Γ-shape around the base shape with 900 rotations in each step. Results show that the proposed antenna achieves a wide bandwidth ranging from 880 MHz to 2720 MHz (102%). The simple structure of the proposed antenna makes it appropriate for many wireless communications such as RFID, GPS, DCS-1800, PCS-1900, IMT-2000/UMTS, ISM (including WLAN), WiFi and Bluetooth. Details of the proposed antenna design are presented and discussed.
