Fractal Antennas
 

Ok, I was invited to start a new thread and the very strange person who
invited me to do this seemed to say he would not be participating, so
here it is.

Anyone have experience with fractal antenna design? I know I have seen
a little bit about it, but no theoretical analysis.

I can't help with theoretical analysis,
but here's a bunch of images you can followup on.

Here's one analysis,

Here's another, pdf file.

That was very interesting.

I guess I was thinking someone would analyze fractal antennas like they
do dipoles, etc., calculating the current and voltage distribution. But
I guess that is just too complex and the simulators are used to "see"
what is happening.

"Simulators" do analyze structures by calculating the current and voltage
distribution.

Ditto.

Fractal antennas can be modeled. See:
http://www.fractenna.com/whats/whats.html
and scroll down to: "HFSS New FRACTAL Tool". Note the model on the
screen. HFSS is a rather expensive modeling program.

The previous URL
https://www.antennex.com/preview/Jan504/intro-fract.htm
includes some downloadable fractal antenna models (NEC files) at:
http://download.antennex.com/software/model/fractaleq1.nwp
The .nwp file is for NEC-Win Plus, which is thoroughly proprietary.
The program 4NEC2 includes 5 fractal antenna models in the
\models\fractals\ directory. Just grab the 4NEC2 program from:
http://www.qsl.net/4nec2/ (free)
which includes models for fractals and large number of other antennas.
Getting the program to play is easy enough. Understanding the results
is far more difficult.

Hint: For anything in 4NEC2 that has a frequency sweep plot, open the
"Pattern" window and use the left right arrows to see what happens to
the antenna pattern at different frequencies.
