Abstract:
This thesis presents the Radar Cross Section measurements of different geometric structures such as flat plate,cylinder, corner reflector and circular cone loaded with fractal based metallo dielectric structures.Use of different fractal geometris,metallizations of different shapes as well as the frequency tanability is investigated for TE and TM polarization of the incident electromagnetic field.Application of fractal based metallo-dielectric structures results in RCS reduction over a wide range of frequency bands.RCS enhancement of dihedral corner is observed at certain acute and obtuse corner angles.The experimental results are validated using electromagnetic simulation softwares.

In this paper, a multiband antenna using a novel
fractal design is presented. The antenna structure is formed
by inscribing a hexagonal slot within a circle. This base
structure is then scaled and arranged within the hexagon
along its sides without touching the outer structure. The
proposed CPW fed, low profile antenna offers good
performance in the 1.65 – 2.59 GHz, 4.16 – 4.52 GHz and
5.54 – 6.42 GHz bands and is suitable for GSM 1800/1900,
Bluetooth, IMT advanced systems and upper WLAN
applications. The antenna has been fabricated on a substrate
of height 1.6 mm and εr = 4.4 and simulation and
experimental results are found to be in good agreement
