Abstract

With the increased interest in wireless multiband operation, there is a renewed search for multiband antennas. The Sierpinski gasket antenna is a prime example of applying fractal geometry to produce multibandwidth behavior. Since the Sierpinski gasket has proven itself to be an excellent multiband antenna, other multiband antennas have been investigated using fractal geometry. This paper examines the input characteristics of one such fractal design based on the hexagon and evaluates its suitability for multiband usage.
