Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a multi-fractal pattern antenna, system and method of making multi-fractal pattern antennas. The antenna comprises a fractal antenna pattern having at least one resonant frequency and having a plurality of joined-chevron fractal segments arranged as a function of at least one resonant frequency. Each joined-chevron fractal segment comprising a first chevron comprising a first V-shaped fractal element having a first leg, second leg and a first vertex where the first leg and second leg are separated by a first angle. Each joined-chevron fractal segment comprising a second chevron joined to the first chevron to form a joined-chevron fractal segment and comprising a second V-shaped fractal element having a third leg, fourth leg and a second vertex where the third leg and the fourth leg are separated by a second angle. A set of the plurality of joined-chevron fractal segment approximates a staircase shape.
