“…Fractal term is derived from Latin word "Fractus" meaning "broken" [20]. Since the achievement of the first fractal antenna in 1995 [21], much progress proved that fractal geometry helps reduce antenna size and gives it a multiband behavior [21][22][23][24][25].…”

The Microwave Power Transmission (MPT) is the possibility of feeding a system without contact by using microwave energy. The challenge of such system is to increase the efficiency of transmitted energy from the emitter to the load. This can be achieved by rectifying the microwave energy using a rectenna system composed of an antenna of a significant gain associated with a rectifier with a good input impedance matching. In this paper, a new multiband antenna using the microstrip technology and fractal geometry is developed. The fractal antenna is validated into simulation and measurement in the ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) band at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz and it presents a wide aperture angle with an acceptable gain for both bands. The final antenna is printed over an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 60 × 30 mm2. These characteristics make the antenna suitable for a multiband rectenna circuit use.

“…The Sierpinski tetrahedral antenna [34], [35] is formed by removing scaled-down versions of an original solid tetrahedron in a repetitive process. This removal of material weakens the structure, so a procedure for providing adequate strength is outlined in this section.…”

“…A 3-D Siepinski fractal antenna can be created by arranging the structure so that the feeding is connected to one of the vertices [35]. Three iterations have been applied in this illustration, giving a total number of 64 tetrahedrons.…”
