A novel wideband and compact size fractal Kokh antenna is described in this article. The return‐loss, E‐plane and H‐plane radiation pattern of the proposed antenna are measured and simulated by Finite Element method. Both experimental and numerical results show that the proposed antenna has smaller size and wideband behavior respect to similar fractal Kokh antenna designs. The Proposed antenna is able to achieve an impedance bandwidth of 19% for VSWR less than 2. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
