High-directivity microstrip antenna with Mandelbrot fractal boundary

High-directivity is a needed feature for small base station antennas in order to provide coverage to a certaingeographic area. For wireless communications, arrays of microstrip antennas are frequently used as radiating elements due totheir thin profile. In this study, a single microstrip element is...
