In this paper we present some novel designs for conformal multiband antennas, based on fractal concepts, for application at three different frequencies. Although a whole host of conventional fractal type of monopole and dipole configurations have been designed in the past, they are not well suited for conformal applications. In this paper we describe a Sierpinski gasket type of fractal configuration, printed on a dielectric substrate backed by a ground plane, and propose a novel approach to enhancing its multiband performance, in terms of impedance matching characteristics as well as radiation patterns, at three operating frequencies. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
