Design Tri-Band Fractal Antenna with Minkowski Island Split Ring Resonator Structures

Abstract:

The paper investigates the effect of Minkowski Island split ring resonator (MI-SRR) on the microstrip fractal patch antenna. Firstly, a basic Minkowski Island had been simulated in the CST Microwave Studio. Then, the addition of several sizes of the Minkowski Island split ring resonator on the substrate had been generated tri-band resonant frequencies. The optimal result of this tri-band antenna 2.394 GHz, 3.528 GHz and 5.257 GHz with a gain of 0.874 dB, 1.41 dB and 2.94 dB and the reflection coefficient magnitudes of - 21.945 dB, - 17.154 dB and – 16.536 dB. The reflection coefficient magnitudes of the simulation and fabricated antenna also had been compared. The target application for this antenna is for WLAN and WiMAX.
