Abstract

This paper presents three iterations of a coplanar waveguide-fed H-tree fractal antenna. Increasing the number of iterations allows us obtaining a multi-band and broad-band behavior. The proposed antennas are a good solution for wireless local area networks IEEE802.11 a/h/j/n/ac/y, worldwide interoperability for microwave access system IEEE802.16, radio frequency identification, C-band, high performance radio LAN, and ultra wideband applications. The simulations were performed in FEKO 6.3. The measurements were performed by the network analyzer HP 8719C.
