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.
ABSTRACT
1
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 CARPETDesign 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 doesn’t 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.
