There are various types of microstrip antenna that can be used for number of applications in wireless communication. In this paper, the design of Sierpienski fractal Slotted Hexagonal Microstrip Patch Antenna with FR4 glass epoxy substrate having dielectric constant, Er of 4.4, and thickness 1.6mm has been presented. It is instigated using stripline feeding. These antennas are compact, conformal to both the surfaces- planar& non-planar, simple, inexpensive, rugged, compatible with MMIC designs. Microstrip antenna is made up of a very thin metallic strip (patch) i.e, placed over a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. The simulated results indicate that the antenna is suitable for RADAR (all types), GPS carriers, WLANs, Wimax, Satellite communication, navigation. The design is simulated using IE3D software and result is obtained in terms of smith chart, VSWR, return loss.
