ABSTRACT: The design and
development of a proximity fed dualband microstrip patch antenna based on David
fractal geometry are presented. David fractal microstrip antenna offers good
performance in the 1.754 - 1.816 GHz and 3.37 - 3.415 GHz bands and is suitable
for GSM 1800, WiMAX applications. The use of David fractal geometry offers
miniaturization of the antenna structure. The proposed first iteration fractal
configuration is fabricated and measured results along with simulation results
are presented. Good radiation patterns and moderate gain are also obtained.
