Fractal and Defected Ground Structure Microstrip Antenna for Wireless Applications

Charu Tyagi*, Puneet Chandra Srivastava, Patrika Jayanti and Kiran Srivastava

Abstract

The new technical developments in wireless networking devices require simultaneous operation at different frequencies for different applications such as LTE, IoT, wi-fi, etc. To achieve the compact microchip scale, this chapter explores the numerous key features of miniaturization techniques in basic antenna with advanced fractal arts. Fractals are a subset of non-Euclidian geometry. The larger bandwidth with multi frequencies is a key characteristic of antennas that have a fractal design in them. The defective ground design successfully overcomes the demerits associated with fractal design in the antenna. Modern-day applications like IEEE802.16 (Wi-Max, WLAN), Mobile operating bands (GSM, LTE), BT, etc., are covered in this chapter.
