Abstract
In this paper we present two novel multiband antenna designs for multiple frequency applications. The first of these, which is based on fractal concepts, is a Sierpinski gasket type of fractal configuration, printed on a dielectric substrate backed by a ground plane. We propose a novel approach to enhancing its multiband performance, in terms of impedance matching characteristics as well as radiation patterns, at three operating frequencies. The second design combines a rectangular microstrip patch with a cylindrical dielectric resonator, and operates at multiple frequencies. Specifically, we describe a stacked configuration of a dielectric resonator antenna on a microstrip patch for three frequency bands. Circular polarization is obtained by utilizing four coaxial feeds in phase quadrature. This configuration is found to exhibit good cross-polarisation rejection characteristics.
