Abstract

This chapter aims to validate the design of a novel unique microstrip fractal patch antenna and its array with a COVID-19 shape designed for wireless applications. The single-element patch is a compact, miniature-size, multiband, low-weight, and low-cost patch antenna; the demonstrated patch antenna and its array are simulated using the HFSS software program. The single element is a circular printed patch with a radius of 5mm surrounded by 5 pairs of crowns. This antenna has a substrate of 10 × 10mm2 area and it operates and resonates on two frequency bands 7.5 GHz and 17 GHz within C and Ku bands respectively. The simulated and the measured gain were 0.8 and 0.2 dB at the lower frequency and 2.21dB and 2 dB respectively at the higher frequency. When the demonstration of the single element is finalized as a 4 × 2 linear polarized antenna array is demonstrated to improve the gain of the antenna to 10.25 dB at 7GHz. The aforementioned microstrip single element and its array are printed on a double-sided copper plate with an FR4-epoxy of 1.6mm thickness.
