An approximate formulation for the resonant frequency of a dipole Hilbert curve fractal antenna (HCFA) is derived here. These can be used as small resonant antennas, useful in VHF/UHF communication. The formulas presented here can be appropriately inverted to obtain the design equations for the antenna, for a given resonant frequency.
