Fractal antennas ... turned out to be useless. That's how I understand it.
It is not a myth, as someone here said it. Drawing "fractal dipole" is shown
in "Antennas for all applications" - there is such a book. It,
anecdotically, does not do you much of anything.
Looks fancy, that's it.
There were bunch of articles promising miracles, but it did not work
according to the promises, otherwise we would hear about it, see them
around.

and later....
If that's him and he makes all this noise on behalf of his company (pretty
unrealistic assumption anyway) ... this is not a good way to market
innovations, be it fractal antennas or anything.
They may be good innovations then, just hindered by his approach.

PS: If someone has commercial request for Antenna design, I can help too - I
do it for living. No fractals, just whips, patches, dipoles, loops, arrays -
everything from the classic books. I am an older guy. And of course,
matching, tuning, conforming and any sorts of customization. I have several
patents too, though I do not think of them as anything special.

Andrey, I have long noticed that having a competitor as a source of
non-factual comment is the norm in this industry, You just happened to get
caught...
Ah yes, the antenna industry: one of the few business fields without a trade
organization--ever wonder why?
