Abstract

This paper presents six iterations of CPW-Fed Dragon fractal antenna. The results show that more the number of iterations increases more the antenna has a broadband behavior. Also, Simulation results show that the 6th iteration of CPW-Fed Dragon fractal antenna have a bandwidth of 3.03 GHz (from 3.67 to 6.6 GHz) with important radiation gains (peak gains from 2 to 5.5 dB) which makes it a suitable solution for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Applications. All the simulations were performed in CADFEKO, a Method of Moment (MoM) based solver.
