The resonant behavior of the Fibonacci fractal tree antennas

Abstract

Abstract An investigation of a novel fractal tree antenna with the application to two different geometries is presented. The antenna is designed by using the special Fibonacci number sequence which leads to nonuniform branch length ratios to form the fractal tree. This new approach gives better performance, especially in the miniaturization of the antenna, when compared with the conventional designs. The results obtained from the experiments are also compared with the computed ones and there is a very good agreement between the numerical and measured data. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
