Abstract

In this paper a Chaucer fractal patch antenna integrated with split ring structure is simulated using Ansoft’s (HFSS), as well as fabricated and tested using VNA. The obtained results indicate that the proposed antenna resonates at 2.4 GHz in the ISM band. In addition, the structure offers multi-band operation with the fair value of return loss, gain, and bandwidth, impedance and directivity in the entire range of frequency operation.
