Wideband stacked Sierpinski carpet dipole antenna

A novel fractal-based wideband dipole element has been investigated and is described. It is formed by two stacked Sierpinski carpet fractals in a dipole configuration, backed by absorbing material. The configuration can be made conformal, or embedded in a low-profile container. Good input return los...

More Information
Summary:A novel fractal-based wideband dipole element has been investigated and is described. It is formed by two stacked Sierpinski carpet fractals in a dipole configuration, backed by absorbing material. The configuration can be made conformal, or embedded in a low-profile container. Good input return loss performance is seen over a 1 to 4 GHz bandwidth, and acceptable patterns are seen over a 5 to 1 frequency range.
