Design of Minkowski fractal antenna on multilayer LTCC Technology / Nur Hidayah Mohd Sukaimi

Nowadays, demands for antenna which are smaller in size, low cost and low fabrication complexity have been increased. Antenna with higher gain, wider bandwidth and smaller size is a requirement for modern development in communication systems. In this context, a multilayer stacked patch antenna with...
