In this article, a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) faded rose flower shaped fractal antenna is presented. The proposed design consists of a rose patch (top) and a split ring resonator loaded beneath the FR4, which are accountable for achieving multiple band characteristics, smallness, and fine impedance matching. The SRR rose antenna with a compacted dimension of 12 × 12 × 1.6 mm3 is fabricated and tested. The testing results show that the design proposed, having −10 dB for 1.031, 4.591, 8.284, 13.41, and 17.17 GHz, respectively, covers WLAN/IEEE 802.16/Wi‐MAX/ITU bands. It has fine radiation characteristics for both E field and H field in all the preferred operational bands and generates superior performances compared to the existing designed antenna in the reviews. The loaded rose fractal SRR structure recital is validated through negative permeability extraction and different parametric studies.
