-A compact fractal antenna based on the SierpinskiCarpet is proposed and designed in this paper. The paper illustratesthe design optimization of the modified fractal antenna up to secondorder iteration for multiband characteristics. The antenna is fed bycoaxial feed. The design is obtained at the center frequency 2GHz.The designs are simulated for various locations of coaxial feed.Moreover the effect of cutting slots in modified Sierpinski Carpet isobserved. The enhancement in the operating bands is observed inthe proposed design. Operating frequency bands are adjusted byvariations in design parameters. Multiband functionality isobserved in first and the second order iteration of the designpresented in this paper. By alterations in the design parameters ofthis antenna various operating frequencies are achieved which areapplicable to more than one application. Gain and Directivity arestabilized to large extent. Improvement in the return loss andVSWR is observed .These antenna designs are thoroughlysimulated on FR-4 substrate with loss tangent 0.025 and dielectricconstant 4.3 and analyzed using Computer Simulation TechnologyMicrowave Studio-2012. These designs are applicable to Personalcommunication System, Satellite Communication and NavigationSystem, Mobile, WLAN, Wi-Max, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth ,RadioNavigation i.e. L-band, S-band and C-band applications.
