High directivity fractal boundary microstrip patch antenna

A novel patch antenna with a fractal boundary condition is proposed. Experimental and numerical results corroborate the fact that the fractal characteristic of the perimeter produces localised modes. This property is utilised in the design of a microstrip patch antenna with a measured directivity of 12.7 dB.
