Abstract
The multiband behavior of the fractal Sierpinski antenna is described in this paper, Due to its mainly triangular shape, the antenna is comp ared to the well-known single-band bow-tie antenna, Both experimental and numerical results show that the self-similarity properties of the fractal shape are translated into its electromagnetic behavior. A deep er physical insight on such a behavior is achieved by means of the com puted current densities over the antenna surface, which also display s ome similarity properties through the bands.
