An optimized LTE antenna implementation using Sierpinski gasket fractal structure

In this study we propose an optimized Sierpinski gasket fractal antenna for Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. The existing mathematical models of the Sierpinski gasket monopole are also investigated and compared to our optimized model. It is observed that the designed antenna can be utilized for seven different LTE sub-bands.
