A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Antenna Multi-Array structures

The research work presented here is primarily intended to analyze geometrical features of fractals that influence the performance of antennas using them. Several antenna configurations based on fractal geometries have been reported in recent years. Modern telecommunication systems require antennas with wider bandwidths and smaller dimensions than conventionally possible. This has initiated antenna research in various directions, one of which is by using fractal shaped antenna elements. In recent years several fractal geometries have been introduced for antenna applications with varying degrees of success in improving antenna characteristics. Some of these geometries have been particularly useful in reducing the size of the antenna, while other designs aim at incorporating multi-band characteristics. Furthermore, design equations for these antennas are obtained in terms of its geometrical parameters such as fractal dimension. Antenna properties have also been linked to fractal dimension of the geometry.
