Abstract

In this research article, a compact sierpinski fractal antenna has been designed on the 1.6 mm thick FR4 substrate material with dielectric constant of 4.4 and size of 30 × 28 mm2. To achieve the multiband characteristics, the partial ground plane is used of size 8.5 × 28 mm2. The sierpinski fractal geometry has been embedded in the hexagonal patch for further up gradation in the bandwidth of antenna. The fractal structure has been designed up to 2nd iteration with line feed technique using CAD FEKO software. The proposed antenna operates in 4.3–11.9 GHz, 13.148–13.980 GHz and 16.83–18.60 GHz frequency bands. The proposed sierpinski fractal antenna can be used in C-band (4–8 GHz), X-band (8–12 GHz), some part of Ku-band (12–18 GHz), IEEE 802.11p protocol based vehicle to everything (V2X), Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) communications bands (5.850–5.925 GHz).
