Abstract

This project is about an antenna which is electrical device designed to transmit or receive radio waves or, more generally, any electromagnetic waves. A microstrip antenna is chosen for this project because it is simple and inexpensive to fabricate using modern printed- circuit technology. Moreover, the frequencies band that used in this project is 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz which is the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. Both of these frequencies represent the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. The first step will be designing and simulation. The design and simulation will be done in the Microwave Office Software which is userfriendly software and easy to handle. The designing begin on the square patch single element of the antenna. Then, it will be shrinking in size by using the fractal geometries which is Minkowski Geometry. This fractal antenna will be arranged in array configurations for performance improvement. Array is the combination of a single element that can improve the problem in single element antenna which it can produce better gain and bandwidth. Besides that, this project will include fabrication which the measurement will be taken and compare with the simulation.
