In this study, we investigate the multi band characteristics of the Microstrip fractal antenna in a stacked patch method. Hexagonal shaped patch antenna is stacked with circular shaped meandered patch in first stage. The simulation results are recorded. As a second stage, fractal is made on the hexagonal shaped patch and it is stacked to meandered antenna. This fractal is implemented to give wide bandwidth property. The simulated results of the proposed fractal antenna are provided. It is measured by means of vector network analyzer. The measured results were given. Both the simulated and measured results give high correlation ability in performance. The novelty of the work is using meandered patch as a bottom layer in stacked method. This antenna would be used in wireless communication equipments. |
