Abstract

A dual wideband design of Sierpinski carpet fractal-shaped planar monopole antenna with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed is proposed in this letter. Wide impedance bandwidth of 22% at lower resonance from 4.88 to 6.08 GHz and 41.7% at higher one, which ranges from 9.5 to 14.5 GHz, is obtained. Measured realized antenna gain is around 5 dBi at the lower band centered around 5.5 GHz and are around 4.5 dBi at the higher band. A fabricated prototype is developed with good agreement between simulation and measurement.
