A hexagonal fractal antenna is presented for satellite navigation applications in this paper. The geometry of the antenna is inspired by the Sierpinski carpet and has compact dimensions, improved bandwidth, good radiation pattern due to the self-similar property of fractal geometry. The bandwidth ranging from 1.54 GHz to 1.61 GHz can work at L1 band of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and B1 band of the Beidou satellite navigation system (BDS). The simulated and measured gains show a good agreement over the bandwidth.
