Abstract
In this paper, a slotted trapezoidal microstrip fractal patch antenna is designed and fabricated for the vehicle GPS antenna. We designed air substrate patch antenna to obtain gain improvement by the elimination of dielectric loss. By applying fractal structure with crossed slot to trapezoidal patch, we obtained 42.5 % as much patch size as conventional triangular patch antenna. Measured bandwidth was 200 MHz on GPS band under VSWR 2:1 And gain was 4.31 dBi at resonant frequency that is 2$\sim$5 dB higher gain than conventional ceramic patch antenna on GPS band.
