Multiband Minkowski Fractal Patch Antenna with Rhombic SRR for Wireless LAN and WiMAX Applications

Abstract

In this paper, the Minkowski fractal patch antenna with combination of rhombic split ring resonator (SRR) structure are proposed for Wireless LAN and WIMAX applications. In the early stage, the normal square patch antenna is mainly designed in CST Microwave Studio simulation software. At that moment, the Minkowski patch antenna was designed using 1st iteration and 2nd iteration technique. The next step is adding the rhombic SRR at side of Minkowski fractal patch antenna. The proposed antenna effect to create a multiband frequency at different location at 2.43 GHz, 2.76 GHz and 5.36 GHz with the reflection coefficient of −16.366 dB, −10.624 dB and −18.030 dB, respectively.
