Bandwidth Enhancement of a Simple Hexagonal Antenna by Using Fractal Geometry

Abstract

Microstrip patch antennas are attractive and popular antenna due to their advantages such as light weight, conformability and low costs. But it has some drawback like narrow bandwidth, low gain, more bulky. Fractal geometry is one of technique used for bandwidth enhancement. A novel single band simple hexagon shape fractal antenna is proposed. Koch & Sierpinski fractal geometry algorithm is applied on simple hexagonal antenna. With help of these two techniques bandwidth of this antenna get enhanced from 26.70MHZ to 60MHZ.
