Fractal structures have the property ofself-similarity and ease of repetitiveness; they remain less used in planar patterned metamaterial structures. A fractal antenna is design based on the metamaterial for multiband applications. The Fractal Antenna design is consist a metamaterial layer with FR4 substrate with  .The proposed antenna consists of a octagonal radiating patch and a partial ground plane. The substrate of the proposed antenna is made of Dacron fabric with permittivity 3.The dimension of the proposed antenna substrate is 40×34×1.7  and the bandwidth 10.969 GHz starting from 38.965 GHz to 49.9333 GHz for return loss less than -10 dB. The gain variation is from 3.2 dB to 11.2147 dB.
