Abstract: The miniaturization of system is the growing demand of electronic industry. As we need to reduce the size, it needs a high level integration and low powers circuits for a small battery requirement. We need the small wave lengths and integrated antennas on chip for high frequency systems. Fractal structure antennas can be used for the structure of an antenna that can be compact in size with large band width. The fabrication process for this is well-matched with the standard CMOS process. A multiband Minkowski fractal patch antenna and Sierpinski carpet fractal antenna on an SOI substrate show a small return loss of for both the bands. The radiation efficiency, bandwidth and directivity are respectively according to the requirements
