Abstract :
Fractal geometries can be utilized to design miniaturized resonant loop antennas that can increase the flexibility of the design of planar phased arrays. Smaller fractal loop elements lead to a more optimal synthesis of phased arrays that can be incorporated into portable wireless devices. Their planar structures also allows for easy fabrication
