This article proposes a new ultrawideband coplanar waveguide‐ fed‐ triangular antenna operating in the FCC band (3.1–10.6) GHz. This antenna employs Koch fractal to increase the bandwidth of the triangular antenna. Two iterations of this fractal antenna are fabricated and tested and found to have good agreement with numerical simulations obtained using HFSS. Full parametric study of the antenna is provided. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2013.
