I am developing a fractal antenna. I just want a fractal pattern on a dielectric, like FR4. Don't want a reflector/groundplane.

What I'm trying to get to as an example: Pic attached

Basic code below: You can see the dielectric is always the size of the ground-plane and always as thick as the calculate distance between the antenna exciter and ground plane.

Thanks,

Kurt Dobson

Hi,

You can use pcbStack for adding dielectric layer without ground plane. You can refer to the following

ant=pcbStack(fractalGasket)

ant =

pcbStack with properties: Name: 'pcbfractalGasket' Revision: 'v1.0' BoardShape: [1×1 antenna.Rectangle] BoardThickness: 0.0013 Layers: {[1×1 antenna.Polygon]} FeedLocations: [0 0 1] FeedDiameter: 1.0000e-03 ViaLocations: [] ViaDiameter: [] FeedViaModel: 'strip' FeedVoltage: 1 FeedPhase: 0 Conductor: [1×1 metal] Tilt: 0 TiltAxis: [1 0 0] Load: [1×1 lumpedElement]

show(ant)

ant.Layers{2}=dielectric('FR4')

Warning: Dielectric thickness is updated with BoardThickness. Assign BoardThickness before setting up the Layers.
