The Possibilities of Using Fractal Antennas in Modern Wireless Communication Technologies

Abstract

This article discusses the possibilities of using fractal antenna systems in wireless communication systems, their features and the main advantages of using them. The presence of the property of self-similarity of fractal structures allows them to be implemented in the creation of broadband and multiband antennas. Therefore, today the capabilities of a fractal antenna are widely studied in wireless communication systems such as 5G, 4G (LTE), Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, GPS and others. The article also presents the main characteristics of fractal antennas and the practical implementation of the antenna model in the Ansys HFSS program. Simulation results, such as S11-parameter, radiation pattern and gain for MIMO patch antenna based on anisotropic fractal, and L, S band patch antenna for CubeSat nanosatellites are presented.
