Abstract
Novel and miniaturized hexagonal Microstrip patch antenna design is presented in this paper. Patch is fractured using Sierpinski and Koch structures to make the antenna applicable for multiband applications. Additionally ground is defected to enhance the bandwidth and further size is reduced. Material FR-4 (εr = 4.4)has been chosen to design proposed antenna and substrate thickness as 1.59 mm. Microstrip feed technique is used as it provides better results. Gain obtained in this case is 5.57 dB, 7.49 dB and 4.02 dB with bandwidth as 606.8 MHz, 507 MHz and 2 GHz at 8.3 GHz, 12.6 GHz and 17.6 GHz resonant frequencies. The antenna is better to other designs in terms of parameters like bandwidth, directivity, polarization, gain, return loss and dimension. The antenna provides application for military appliances. A good concord is obtained in Simulated and measured results.
