RESUMO

Abstract Recently research show that some parameters such as the shapes of antenna patch and the ground plane when geometrically altered produces changes in the current density distribution of the planar structure and consequently in the resonant modes. This paper presents a new microstrip fractal antenna using the technique of inserting slots of shape fractal in ground plane in order to increase the bandwidth and insertion discontinuities in the feed line to reach specific behaviors in three resonant modes. The FR-4 substrate with dimensions 85.0 x 85.0 x 1.57 mm3 is used. Also, it used different techniques of impedance matching in feed line of antenna with changes of the width of the transmission line in order to obtain a variation in the current distribution and consequently of the impedance bandwidth for S11 ≤ -10dB for C-band (3.625 GHz – 4.2 GHz) and S-band (2.0 GHz – 4.0 GHz). Good agreement between measured and simulated results is achieved. Proposed fractal microstrip antenna can be easily designed, built and applied in wireless communication.
