“…Several antenna designs have been based on the use of different fractal shapes to achieve multiband antennas, due to their self-similarity and space-filling properties. The space-filling property of the Peano and Minkowski fractals [9,10] has been exploited to miniaturize the antennas., while the self-similarity property of the Hilbert, Koch, and Sierpinski curves can be used to have multiband behavior [11,12].…”

In this article, a novel quad-band fractal PIFA antenna design for DCS, PCS, UMTS, and WiMAX wireless communications systems is presented. The proposed antenna is a PIFA antenna where a slot having a Hilbert fractal shape at the third iteration has been inserted at the center of the radiating patch. The fractal shape of the implanted slot on the PIFA antenna was used in order to make the antenna operational at four frequency bands, according the required applications. The proposed antenna with the fractal shape of the slot offers quad-band operation with a miniaturized size compared to the initial PIFA antenna, such that the dimensions of the radiating patch become equal to 28 mm × 28 mm. This structure is operational in the following frequency bands: (1.73–2.08) GHz, (2.46–2.59) GHz, (3.39–3.47) GHz, and the band (4.56–5.02) GHz covering DCS, PCS, UMTS, and WiMAX mobile communications systems, respectively, with a gain ranging from 2 dB to 6 dB at the desired frequency bands. The fractal PIFA antenna design was carried out under CST MWs software with validation of the results made using HFSS software. There is good agreement between the obtained results by the two simulation software.

A Review of the Miniaturization of Microstrip Patch Antenna Based on Fractal Shapes

Wireless communication has become ubiquitous in almost every sector, both in military and commercial systems. Communicating objects are getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, the antennae which are the fundamental elements of this circuit must meet the requirements of their integrating environment in terms of bandwidth, multiple frequencies, smaller size and affordability. Microstrip patch antenna (MPA), a priori, should have been the preferred candidate, but the narrowness of its bandwidth is a limitation. Therefore, many techniques have been explored including the use of fractal shapes for improving the performance of this type of antenna. Multiform fractal shapes have been used in various works to achieve the results expected in specific cases to effectively meet the requirements of wireless communication. In this paper, we will do an overview by highlighting the various kinds of fractal geometries which have been the most used in recent years by clearly specifying that the options of miniaturization of microstrip antennae by the theories of Sierpinski and Minkowski are ideal methods and therefore, will drive our future work on miniaturized antenna designs.
