Abstract

A dual-frequency antenna based on the Sierpinski fractal with two parasitic patches to enhance the impedance bandwidth is presented. An electrical circuit model formed by RLC resonators is proposed to learn about the antenna physical behavior and to achieve the dual band operation minimizing a trial-and-error numerical/measurement proofs. The antenna has been designed using a method of moment commercial code and has been experimentally tested, obtaining two bands with a broad bandwidth and similar radiation patterns.
