Abstract: This proposed research letter reported the different Iterations of Fractal antenna for X/Ku Band applications. The standard rectangular patch modified with different Iterations to achieve this dual band characteristics. In this research work the fractal structure is applied to attain the required resonance frequencies of 11.85/12.77/13.83 GHz with wideband behaviour. The overall dimensions of the patch is 38.04×29.44 mm utilizing high frequency supporting material Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 with dialectic constant of 2.2. This projected work is evaluated by ANSYS 3D High frequency structure simulator which uses a finite element approach solver for EM structures. The suggested work exhibits VSWR < 2, gain of 6.6 dBi with good radiation efficiency satisfying X/Ku Band applications, also it is suitable for remote sensing, surface movement radar applications.
