Sierpinski-Based Conical Monopole Antenna
Planar Sierpinski monopole exhibits a multiband behavior, but its parameters in operation frequency bands are not optimal. By mapping the Sierpinski monopole on a conical surface, a symmetrical Three-Dimensional (3-D) structure is obtained. In this way, a larger bandwidth and a better radiation pattern is achieved. The symmetrical 3D Sierpinski-based monopole is an original contribution of this paper. In the paper, different versions of the conical Sierpinski based monopole are designed and results of simulations performed in CST Microwave Studio are mutually compared.
