Abstract :
This paper focuses the design and analysis of star triangular fractal antenna. The designed structure offers maximum gain and bandwidth ratio greater than 10:1 for SWB (2.18 to 44.5 GHz) applications. The purpose of the iteration is to reduce the size of the fractal antenna. The proposed antenna has been analysed for the part of SWB band from 1 GHz to 30 GHz. The proposed antenna structure can be designed using design equations and simulated using computer simulation technology (CST). Finally prototype has been developed and parameters are measure using network analyser. The observed results show that the proposed antenna structure can be used for wideband wireless communication applications with minimum loss and excellent radiation.
