Abstract

In this paper, a novel fractal microstrip antenna is proposed for IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN). The geometry of ‘X’ shape slots with dissimilar dimensions is used to design the proposed fractal antenna. The proposed fractal antenna is designed with FR4 Glass Epoxy material. The dielectric constant and thickness of antenna are ε r  = 4.4 and 1.6 mm. Radiating patch size of proposed antenna is of 35.4 mm × 27.82 mm with feed width and length 16.4 and 2.6 mm, respectively. Proposed fabricated antenna is analyzed for WLAN frequency band of 2.4 GHz. Ansoft HFSS simulator software is used to obtain and validate the simulation results of proposed antenna.
