The goals of this project are to investigate multiband behavior ofMicrostrip Antennas and to design an antenna that can operate at multiband or broadband frequencies using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator). Through this project, smaller size of antenna at high performance can be developed. The design of Microstrip Antennas will be studied through fractals using HFSS. Fractal is a broken or irregular fragment. HFSS is used to simulate the antenna design and calculate the s-magnitude plot at the end of simulation. To make the investigation of antenna behavior, many experiments are done by varying the f.., and also introduced the notch or window at the patch and analyzed the results to get the characteristics that can show their different behaviors. The scopes of this project includes literature review on Microstrip Antennas and HFSS and simulation of designing antennas by varying one parameter like varying the location of notch. The purpose of this simulation is to compare the resonant frequency of the simulation with the corresponding theoretical value.
