On The Design And Analysis Of I-Shaped Fractal Antenna For Emergency Management

This paper presents an optimal design of an I-shaped fractal antenna for wireless communication devoted to emergency management. The proposed antenna is smaller in size compared to many of the traditional antennas known so far and with further implementation of third iterative fractal geometry on the patch, the size has been reduced by 12.47% in terms of resonating frequency and the patch area has been decreased by 52.8%, which contributes toward the low cost features of the antenna. The resonating and radiation characteristics of the fractal antenna are investigated numerically and experimentally to verify the potential of the antenna for the desired application. The antenna enables multiband connectivity at 5.88, 6.70, and 7.23 GHz. The measured results of the fabricated antenna are in good agreement with the simulated results and indicate efficient matching of the designed structure.
