Abstract
This paper presents a star-triangular fractal (STF) antenna operating between 1 and 30 GHz, which is modified by incorporating additional Sierpinski gasket fractal structure. The STF antenna is designed and simulated using adaptive mesh generation in Ansys software High Frequency Structure Simulator, based on finite element method (FEM) technique. The simulated outcome of amended fractal antenna has been evaluated in comparison to reference antenna. It is observed that the proposed antenna is applicable over super high frequency range.
