Different fractal antennas based on aperture coupled feeding technique are studied, analysed and compared for size reduction, low profile, and good omini-dirctional pattern suitable for RFID applications. The results are used as a guideline to propose modified fractal shapes patch antennas having lower size reduction parameters. All the designed antennas are based on zero-order square patch antenna where different fractal geometries are introduced to miniaturize the size of antenna for 5.8 GHz band. A maximum reduction in patch antenna size of 59.80 % is achieved when using modified Minkowski pre-fractal patch antenna.
