A New Compact Patch Antenna Design for Circular Polarization Applications Based on 3rd Iteration Minkowski-Like Pre-Fractal Geometry

Authors : Ali Sadeq Abdulhadi Jalal

Abstract: A compact low profile microstrip antenna for circular polarization dual band applications has been presented in this study. The proposed antenna design is based on the 3rd iteration Minkowski-like pre-fractal geometry. The proposed antenna design offers a high degree of freedom making it attractive for the antenna designers as a result of the flexibility in the design gained. Antenna performance has been evaluated using the widely used software in industry; EMSightTM from the Applied Wave Research Inc. The proposed antenna has shown to possess dual resonance bands (for return loss = -10 dB). These 2 resonance bands can tuned remarkably using the antenna structure parameters. Good circular polarization characteristics with reasonable radiation characteristics have been achieved at these two bands. This makes the proposed antenna suitable to be in use in many mobile wireless systems incorporating dual band circularly polarized radiation such as GPS receivers operating at L1 and L2 bands, RFID systems operating at the ISM 2.4500 and 5.800 GHz bands, WCDMA RX operating at (2.110-2.170 GHz) frequency bands, etc.
