Design of a Dual-Band Orthogonally Polarized L-Probe-Fed Fractal Patch Antenna Using Modal Methods

摘要

Modal methods are used to effectively design a dual-band orthogonally polarized fractal patch antenna. This letter summarizes the workflow from generating a fractal motif through modal analysis to feeding design and full-wave analysis. As the antenna's feeding and matching structure, a dual L-probe was proposed to widen its bandwidth. The full-wave simulation is in very good agreement with the measurement. The motif size is 50 × 50 mm2, and the antenna operates at 1.25 and 2.1 GHz. The relative bandwidths are 4.18% and 11.4%, respectively.
