Popis: This work suggests a fractal antenna in the shape of a crossed flower with a split ring resonator geometry. This suggested antenna serves the Sub-6 GHz 5G and satellite repeater applications for wireless devices operating in the frequency range of 4.01–4.82 and 7.6–7.94 GHz, respectively. The suggested antenna's performance parameters have been empirically confirmed by creating a printed prototype. The antenna geometry is based on a lower-cost FR4 substrate and consists of a mix of crossed floral square-shaped split-ring resonators organized in a Minkowski fractal configuration. A thorough examination of both manufactured and simulated antennas is conducted to demonstrate the uniqueness and edge over traditional dual-band antennas. The suggested fractal antenna's overall physical dimensions measure 0.90λ x 0.96λ at a lower resonant frequency. The response of the unit cell antenna is recorded when Split Ring Resonators are grouped in a fractal antenna with a flower shape. The measured findings verify that the proposed and constructed antenna has an electrical impedance bandwidth of −10 dB at lower frequency band (18.80 %, 4.01–4.82 GHz) and upper frequency band (4.41 %, 7.6–7.94 GHz) of −10 dB. The simulated and fabricated prototypes exhibit good agreement with respect to the stable gain and radiation patterns. Because of its consistent radiation efficiency in the realized resonating bands, the suggested prototype is a strong contender for 5G Sub-6 GHz and X band satellite applications.
