Abstract EN

This work presents the analysis of monopole microstrip antennas with truncated ground plane and patch geometry inspired on the Mandelbrot fractal curve for applications in UWB systems.

The proposed antenna geometry is analyzed using the Wave Concept Iterative Procedure (WCIP), a full-wave method.

Results for the proposed antenna operating frequency, bandwidth, VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern are obtained and discussed.

The WCIP results are compared with simulation results provided by HFSS software, for validation purpose.

In addition, a prototype antenna is built and measured.

A good match between WCIP theoretical and simulation, HFSS simulation, and measurement results is observed for the antenna frequency response.
