Abstract
Implementation Sierpinski Gasket Fractals on Band Reject L Slot printed Patch Antenna is investigated as Electromagnetic Band-Gap (EBG) Structures. Various iterations of the fractals are performed and investigated in the frequency range from 2 GHz to 5 GHz. Initially, the gain of the patch antenna over the frequency range is measured for reference. Later, different designs of the same fractals are loaded as EBG on the antenna. The peak gain of the reference is found out to be 2.38 dB and variations from it, after loading with EBG, are studied.
