Abstract
Fractal antennas have the characteristic of radiating in multiple frequencies, usually in a logarithmic pattern, through the property of self-similarity that fractal shapes possess. By connecting fractal shaped antennas, wideband coverage can be achieved. The analysis, design principles and several examples are shown to demonstrate this concept.
