Design and analysis of a fractal microstrip dipole antenna using Koch concepts for wideband wireless communications

Abstract

This paper is to present how to design and construct a fractal microstrip dipole antenna using Koch concepts. Multi-frequencies covering in a range from 175 MHz to 1.6 GHz are for example investigated by using different techniques and theoretical design principles of the iteration function system (IFS) and the curve fitting. Simulation and experimental results are shown and analyzed to study how possible to use this antenna for wideband wireless communications.
