Research on fractal antenna and use of soft computing technique towards its development at Jadavpur University, Berhampur University and the University of Burdwan

Abstract

This paper summarizes fractal antenna designs that have improved performance over conventional fractal antenna. A real coded genetic algorithm code in MATLAB\TM is developed that plugs on to electromagnetic simulation software IE3D\TM to search for a suitable design of a Sierpinski gasket microstrip patch antenna. The same code is further modified to optimize a Sierpinski carpet monopole antenna with a coplanar wave-guide feed.
