Design and simulation of variants of koch models for fractal antenna

Design and simulation of variants of koch models for fractal antenna

Fractal antennas are multi-resonant, wideband and smaller in size and have good applications in areas like mission-oriented activities. Many fractal shapes work better as antenna than circular antenna. A good antenna is mainly measured in terms of return loss (RL), Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)...
