Abstract
Different fractal antennas based on aperture coupled feeding technique are studied, analysed and compared for size reduction, low profile, and good omini‐dirctional pattern suitable for RFID applications. The results are used as a guideline to propose modified fractal shapes patch antennas having lower size reduction parameters. All the designed antennas are based on zero ‐ order square patch antenna where different fractal geometries are introduced to miniaturize the size of antenna for 5.8 GHz band. A maximum reduction in patch antenna size of 59.80 % is achieved when using modified Minkowski pre‐fractal patch antenna.
