New fractal compact printed antennas

Abstract

Fractal antennas are very compact, multiband, and have useful applications in wireless communication system. Efficient small antennas are crucial in the development of compact communication systems. Low efficiency is the major disadvantage of small antennas. Several designs of Fractal Printed Antennas are presented. The antenna bandwidth is around 10% with VSWR better than 3:1. The antenna gain is around 8dBi with 90% efficiency.
