Title A name given to the resource Performance Analysis of Novel Compact Octagonal Shaped Fractal Antenna for Broadband Wireless Applications Subject The topic of the resource Fractal antennas; HFSS; Octagon; Return loss; UWB technology; VSWR; Wireless applications Description An account of the resource Antenna plays an important role in any part of the communication system. It has to be designed very cautiously to provide improved system performance to meet the developments in wireless technologies with various design constraints such as small size, low cost, high data, low power consumption and wideband capabilities. Several efforts have been made by various investigators around the globe to amalgamate benefits of fractal structures with electromagnetic concepts and applications to reduce the size of the antenna without obstructing the performance of the antennas. This paper proposes a novel compact octagonal shaped broadband fractal antenna. The proposed antenna was designed on an inexpensive FR4-epoxy substrate and simulated using the High Frequency Structure Simulator. The antenna resonates in dual bands in 3.8 and 1GHz with lowest return loss of ?32.80dB and gain of 10.22dB while maintaining the VSWR in the 2:1 level. Attempts have been made to reduce the size and improve the bandwidth using fractal concept and truncation of ground plane. The fabricated antenna was verified experimentally and the results are agreeing with the simulations. The point of attraction of this antenna is the use of single patch for broadband coverage with easy fabrication. 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
