- This paper presents verification of multiband characteristics of a circularly shaped iterative fractal antenna with increasing number of fractal iterations. The four numbers of iterations are considered for this study. Also, the miniaturization characteristics of the fractal antenna with increasing number of fractal iterations have been studied. The proposed 4 th iterated fractal antenna is designed on FR4 substrate (h = 1.56 mm and εr = 4.3). The antenna is coaxially fed using surface mount adapter. The proposed circularly shaped fractal antenna is found to resonate at four centre frequencies such as 0.683 GHz, 0.97 GHz, 1.29 GHz, and 1.68 GHz. The antenna finds applications in various compact multiband wireless communications due its smaller size , low cross polarization and multiband behaviour.
