摘要
A novel printed Cantor fractal monopole antenna using multifractal technique is proposed. The antenna has multi-band characteristics covering GSM, DCS, PCS, UMTS, and WLAN applications. Prototypes of the multiband antenna have been implemented and the return loss has been compared with that of measured value. The use of multifractal concept in the Cantor antenna design makes it flexible in terms of controlling resonance and bandwidth.
