Multi-resonant compact patch antenna with fractal slots on the basis of smith chart configuration

This paper describes the design and analysis of a multi-resonant compact patch antenna with fractal slots on the basis of Smith Chart geometry for indoor communication systems. A 60mm × 60mm × 1mm single patch antenna with periodic fractals in the form of combined r and x circles is capable of resonating at some desired sub-bands starting from LTE to WI-MAX with good enough directional characteristics greater than 3 dB in average within the whole frequency band. The dielectric material used for the proposed Microstrip patch antenna is Rogers TMM4 with dielectric constant of 4.5 and the patch is made up of perfect electric conductor (PEC). The proposed fractal geometry possesses multiband behavior at 0.7 GHz, 1.15 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.7 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz. In comparison with the already existing antenna systems in the wireless market for similar purposes, the proposed antenna has considerably shown better performance and supplementary compactness which makes it competitive among other antenna models.
