Abstract
A miniature planar fractal antenna has been introduced in this paper for multistandard wireless communication systems. The multifrequency structure was based on Hilbert curve at the second iteration and fed using the CPW technology. The performed monopole was designed using the EM Simulator HFSS v11 from Ansoft. Simulation results show that it resonates at several frequencies such as GSM900, WLAN, ISM, WiFi, WiMAX bands. A prototype was manufactured and characterized and measurements show that this compact monopole antenna can be used for a wide variety of telecommunication applications.
