Abstract

This paper presents the Koch fractal with bow tie patch antenna with microstrip feed is proposed. This proposed antenna has been developed with patch dimension 2mm x 5mm (WxL). Copper has been preferred as a conducting material for patch and ground. FR4 and silicon dioxide substrate material has been used. The operating frequency range is 4GHz – 8GHz. This antenna finds application for defense and secure communication, C band (4GHz – 8GHz) applications where antenna can be used for satellite communication and Radar communication. ADS software is used to design the proposed antenna.
