perimeter = area = = 0 So the Sierpinski carpet has an infinite perimeter – but it bounds a region with an area of zero! Weird Your turn: compute the fractal dimension of the Sierpinski carpet. The Minkowski Fractal The Triangle Sierpinski Fractal The Hilbert Fractal 6.3 Fractal antennas The Koch Fractal Antenna The Triangle Sierpinski Fractal Antenna The Sierpinski Gasket Fractal Antenna The Crown Square Microstrip Fractal Antenna The Parany Monopole Fractal Antenna The Multiple Ring Monopole Fractal Antenna * Chapter 6 Fractal Antenna 6.1 Fractal Theory The term fractal, which means broken or irregular fragments, was originally coined by Mandelbrot in 1973. Possess an inherent self-similarity or self-affinity in their geometrical structure. Fractal geometry is combined with electromagnetic theory for the purpose of investigating a new class of radiation, propagation, and scattering problems. One of the most promising areas of fractal-electrodynamics research is in its application to antenna theory and design. The Koch Fractal First iteration After 2 iterations 6.2 Fractal geometry After 3 iterations After n iterations After iterations (work with me here, people) The Koch snowflake is six of these put together to form . . . . . . well, a snowflake. Notice that the perimeter of the Koch snowflake is infinite . . . . . . but that the area it bounds is finite (indeed, it is contained in the white square). The Koch snowflake has even been used in technology: Boston - Mar 13, 2002Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. today disclosed that it has filed for patent protection on a new class of antenna arrays that use close-packed arrangements of fractal elements to get superior performance characteristics. Fractal Tiling Arrays -- Firm Reports Breakthrough in Array Antennas Can you name the movie? Each of the six sides of the Koch snowflake is self-similar: If you take a small copy of it . . . . . . then dilate by a factor of 3 . . . . . . you get four copies of
