Abstract

This paper presents a wideband Sierpinski carpet fractal patterned rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) operating in the X-band, which is characterized by dielectric waveguide model method (DWM). In order to decrease the cost of the DRA the low-cost teflon is used as the material. A prototype is realized to validate the results of the simulation. The paper provides a comparison between conventional rectangular DRA and fractal shaped rectangular DRAs of the first and the second iterations. The antenna design methodology is discussed along with its resonance and radiation characteristics. The validity of the obtained results is proved by the close match of the experimental and simulation results. The measurements on prototype show impedance bandwidth of 48% covering the entire X-band with similar radiation pattern throughout the band with a gain of 7.5 dBi over 9.0–11.5 GHz.
