 ABSTRACT
The study proposes a flexible wideband wearable
antenna for military applications. A Sierpenski Carpet
Fractal antenna is designed and simulated with a
flexible common jeans cotton for body centric
application. For size reduction and multiband
operation, the self-similarity property of fractal
antenna has been utilized. The antenna performance
has been analyzed for various bending conditions.

 FRACTAL ANTENNA
Fractal antennas are antennas that
have the shape of fractal structures.
The fractal antennas consist of
geometrical shapes that are repeated.
Each one of the shapes has unique
attributes. By careful selection, a
number of these fractal shaped
antennas can be valuable in the field
of telecommunications.

 SIERPENSKI CARPET
Design steps:
1. Design of a rectangular/square patch.
2. Subdivision of patch into nine smaller congruent squares.
3. Etching process to remove the central square to obtain the
first iteration.

This process can be continued infinitely to obtain the

multiband.

 CONCLUSION
We have designed a Sierpenski Carpet fractal antenna for
UHF and VHF band. As this is designed for wearable
application, we have studied the performance of our
designed antenna under bending conditions. From the
obtained result, we conclude if the bending radius is less
the antenna doesnt shows impressive result. But it shows
good result as the bending radius increases. So this
antenna can be wore only in the body parts where radius is
more like legs or back or front of the body.
