Abstract

A novel slotted fractal antenna is designed in this chapter. The designed antenna is then undergone to a recent optimization technique called modified lightning attachment procedure optimization in association with the curve fitting technique. The optimized antenna provides the optimized geometrical dimensions. The optimized antenna provides much higher bandwidth than that of the actual (or unoptimized) design in X-band and Ku-band. The radiation properties and gain of the optimized antenna are also discussed. The highest gain of the optimized antenna is found to be 8.50 dB. The optimized bandwidth is also compared with the optimized bandwidth in the existing literature based on other nature-inspired techniques.
