Design and Analysis of Fractal Koch Curve Antenna With Ground Slotting

Ravi Kumar Sharma, Rakesh Kumar Joon

Abstract


This paper illustrates the basic design and analysis of fractal Koch curve antenna producing the results with the fourth number of iteration with ground slotting. The length represented by Lg of the ground plane is 16 millimeters and width represented by Wg of the ground plane is 18 millimeters. In our paper there is comparison between 4th iteration of simple Koch curve and Koch curve with ground slotting antennas. We have simulated the antenna by using the software named high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) Version-13 that is based on finite element modeling i.e. FEM. Radiation pattern, return loss and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) are the major and most important antenna characteristics are being analyzed in this paper. The resonating frequency for ground slotting Koch curve antenna is 13.6 GHz, VSWR is 1.4 dB and bandwidth is 44%.
