Small antennas satisfying bandwidth requirements in wideband, broadband and multichannel communication systems are of wide interest among researchers. This paper investigates the resonant behaviour of proximity coupled circular fractal planar monopole against circular fractal planar monopole without proximity coupling. The antennas are fed using microstripline and coplanar waveguide technique. These antennas are designed and printed on low cost FR4 substrate ( height h=1.56mm and εr =4.3) of size 110 mm by 115 mm with circular patch radius of 40 mm. The planar fractal monopole shows multiband characteristics under different configurations of feed. The monopole can be used for various compact applications in 482 MHz to 4 GHz band.

In this paper, iterative square ring fractal antenna is proposed, designed and developed for Wireless
application. The functional characteristics of the antenna such as return loss, VSWR, radiation pattern and
gain are evaluated. Compact size and multi-band compatibility are the major design requirements of
fractal antenna. The proposed antenna has the dimension of 20mm X 20mm and it supports dual band
which is designed in FR4 substrate. It resonates at 5.9 GHz and 8.8 GHz with the return loss of -33dB, -
16dB, respectively. Further, the performance of the antenna is analyzed by varying feed position, feed

A novel miniaturized circular fractal antenna is designed by inscribing circular slot on rectangular ground plane and successively forming circular rings connected by semi-circles for circular-fractal patch. Novel modified Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) is used as feed for fractal circular patch. The analysis of parametric variations is performed by consecutive fractal iterations, varying the radius of inscribed circle of ground plane, slots and different ground plane configurations. To further enhance gain and radiation pattern a dual inverted L slots is included in ground plane. From the results it is evident that, the proposed fractal antenna possesses triple bands at 1.8GHz, 3.5GHz and 5.5GHz. These bands are used in Digital Communication Systems (DCS) (1.8GHz), IEEE 802.16d fixed WiMAX (3.5GHz) and IEEE 802.11a WLAN (5.5GHz) applications.

ABSTRACT
Small antennas satisfying bandwidth requirements in wideband, broadband and multichannel
communication systems are of wide interest among researchers. This paper investigates the resonant
behaviour of proximity coupled circular fractal planar monopole against circular fractal planar monopole
without proximity coupling. The antennas are fed using microstripline and coplanar waveguide technique.
These antennas are designed and printed on low cost FR4 substrate ( height h=1.56mm and εr =4.3) of size
110 mm by 115 mm with circular patch radius of 40 mm. The planar fractal monopole shows multiband
characteristics under different configurations of feed. The monopole can be used for various compact

1. INTRODUCTION
There is a continuing interest in broadband (BW 2:1) antennas operating over a wide frequency
range to satisfy high data rates in second to fifth generations of communication technologies for
multimedia applications. These systems need low-cost compact antennas with desired
performance characteristics. Few of the examples of such systems are mobile systems in the
second generation (2G) viz. GSM1800 and GSM1900, operating in the frequency bands 1710–
1880 MHz and 1850–1990 MHz, third generation (3G) systems viz. cdma-2000, WCDMA, and
TD-SCDMA operating in frequency band 1920–2170 MHz.
A number of recent books [1–2] and articles [3–15] have surveyed various bandwidth
enhancement techniques. The structural technique for enhancement of bandwidth of an antenna is
continuously evolving. Initially, it has involved primarily the antenna substrate. Now days both
the antenna substrate and its geometry have been targeted towards bandwidth enhancement.
Microstrip patches are modified in shape and incorporated with slots of various sizes and shapes.
The impedance matching techniques using the circuit theory approach are reported for bandwidth
enhancement [1-2]. To facilitate the increased demand for bandwidth, the planar monopoles using
printed circuit boards are also playing important role in various wireless communication
applications due to their low manufacturing cost, and easy integration into planar circuits.

This paper has investigated bandwidth enhancement in proximity coupled printed circular planar
fractal monopole antenna against the printed circular planar fractal monopole without proximity
coupling.
2. DESIGN OF ANTENNA
The designed antenna is a modification of Sierpinski triangular geometry incorporated in a
conventional circular microstrip patch antenna (CMPA) on iterative basis using a designed fractal
generator [13, 15-16]. The fractal generator has been designed by subtracting equilateral triangle
of dimensions 73.5 mm three times from a circle of radius, r = 40 mm as shown in Fig. 1. This
subtraction can be done in three steps 1. Subtract the triangle from circle with vertex of triangle at
0 deg., 2. Subtract triangle with vertex at 90 deg. from the geometry generated in step 1, 3.
Subtract triangle with vertex at 180 deg. from the geometry generated in step 2. The copper patch
has been designed using this generator. This patch is scaled down 4 times to be included in the
larger size iteration i.e. 2nd
iteration is accommodated in 1st
iteration, 3rd
in 2nd
iteration and 4th
in
3rd
iteration to design 4th iterated fractal antenna geometry as shown in Fig. 2.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.1 Reflection loss
The reflection loss or reflection coefficient pattern against varying frequency of the printed
circular fractal planar monopole fed using simple 50 Ω microstripline as seen in Fig. 3a (with full
background) is simulated and measured. The results are compared in Fig. 6. Both, simulated and
measured results are in close agreement with some tolerance. These results clearly indicate the
multiband nature of the monopole. The multiband behaviour of the monopole can be attributed to
self similar iterative fractal nature of the patch. Further, the space filling nature of the monopole
antenna geometry [15] reduces the size of the antenna to become independent of the size
dependent resonance. The resonant frequencies in the antenna are a function of iteration depth.
Increasing iteration depth increases the space filling properties of the fractal patch to affect
compactness in the printed fractal monopole [15]. The measured results of the printed circular
fractal planar monopole fed using simple 50 Ω microstripline with full background (Fig. 3a ) and
partial (Fig. 3b) are compared in Fig. 7. The results show that printed fractal monopole in both the
configurations behaves as multiband antenna. But, with partial ground, the bandwidth associated
with multiple bands becomes wider than with full background. The perturbation in the bandwidth
with background size is attributed to wider impedance matching as seen in Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b
with partial background as compared to full background. The partial background couples the
multiple resonances to justify the broader bandwidth. Further, these coupling effects are not
uniform across the multiple bands. Table 1 shows the variation in bandwidth with partial and full
background in planar circular fractal monopole. With full background, the printed fractal
monopole exhibits maximum bandwidth of 2.95 % (at -10 dB reflection coefficient) compared to

maximum 63.50 % (at -10 dB reflection coefficient) with partial background as seen from Table
1. Further, the microstripline fed printed circular planar fractal monopole with partial background
exhibits a dual band antenna with wideband properties.

Table 1, Effect of ground size on the bandwidth exhibited by microstrpline fed printed circular planar
fractal monopole without proximity ring.
Now, the printed circular fractal planar monopole is fed using a gap coupled proximity ring with
50 Ω microstripline (Fig. 4b) and the measured results are obtained. These results are compared
with planar circular fractal monopole without the proximity ring (Fig. 3b) in Fig. 9. The lower
frequency shift is observed in proximity ring microstripline fed (partial back ground) monopole
compared to without proximity ring microstripline fed (full background) monopole from 0.860
GHz to 0.681 GHz. This indicates that incorporation of proximity ring and gap coupling
increases the size of the monopole to effect lower frequency shift. Further, the bandwidth in
multiple bands changes with background size as well as inclusion of proximity ring to indicate
their impact on coupled resonance (Fig. 7 and Fig. 8). The proximity concentric ring around the
antenna geometry with 50 ohm transmission line feed increases the bandwidth around the centre
frequencies at 0.681 GHz, 2.21 GHz, 2.94 GHz, 3.36 GHz compared to 0.860 GHz, 2.41 GHz,
3.11 GHz, 3.94 GHz with microstripline without proximity ring.
The improvement in bandwidth has been reported in Table 2. The maximum of 20 % bandwidth
has been noted with gap coupled proximity ring microstripline fed (partial background) planar
fractal printed monopole compared to 2.9 % in microstripline fed (full background) without
proximity ring.Further, the proximity ring planar fractal monopole is fed with 50 Ω CPW line.
The measured and simulated results are obtained in Fig. 10 to find a close match between them.
These results are compared with microstripline fed (partial background) proximity ring planar
circular fractal monopole as shown in Fig. 11. The CPW fed monopole has exhibited multiband
properties with small bandwidth improvements around the same resonating frequencies compared
to microstripline. This indicates that there is minimum impact on coupled resonance of
micropstripline or CPW feed when printed monopole is gap coupled using proximity ring.

3.2 RADIATION PATTERNS
The radiation pattern of the proximity ring fractal antenna fed using microstripline and CPW
technique in azimuthal plane at 0 deg. elevation for four resonant frequencies have been shown in
Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 respectively. These patterns are similar and nearly omni-directional at all the
resonant frequencies. The maximum gains of 2.625 dB using microstripline and around 0 dB
using CPW have been observed.

To obtain further insight, the radiation patterns have been studied comparatively in azimuth as
well as elevation plane at one of the resonant frequency 0.681 GHz for both microstripline and
CPW as shown in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16. These patterns show changes in orientation with change in
feed from microstripline to CPW keeping shape nearly similar with slight distortions in respective
planes. The patterns are either omini-directional or bidirectional in azimuthal plane where as
unidirectional in elevation plane with microstrip as well as CPW feed.

4. CONCLUSIONS
The paper emphasizes bandwidth enhancement process in printed planar circular fractal
monopole. The planar circular fractal monopole with gap coupled proximity ring shows
multiband bandwidth enhancement using microstripline as well as CPW feed techniques due to
self-similarity properties in the iterative fractal antenna. The monopole exhibits wideband
characteristics with similar and omni-directional patterns at various resonant frequencies in
azimuth plane. The planar monopole can be used for compact wideband applications. The
compact behavior of the fractal antenna can be attributed to its space filling properties. The
proposed fractal antenna can be fabricated on low cost FR4 substrate material. It is simple in
design and finds applications in various types of compact wireless communications.
